Unusual presentation of anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta: case report
In cases of AORPA associated with aortic arch flow reversal, pulmonary hypertension, and inadequate interatrial communication, maintaining PDA patency with PGE1 infusion until surgical repair is critical for survival. The right-to-left flow across the PDA counteracts the steal from the aorta and decompresses the right ventricle, preventing right ventricular failure and maintaining systemic blood flow.
