 | Management of tetralogy of fallot with pulmonary atresia. | Figure 3: A. Descending aortogram in an infant showing multiple MAPCA's to both lungs. B. Selective injection into one of the left-sided MAPCA's fills the native central pulmonary arteries. Note the very stenotic intrapulmonary connection between the MAPCA and the native...Bottom Line: Pulmonary blood flow is derived from a variety of sources, including native pulmonary artery branches and aorto-pulmonary collaterals with significant variability from patient to patient.Management must therefore be individualized to each patient's anatomy... | Prieto L - Images Paediatr Cardiol (2005) |
