Abstract

Type A3 truncus arteriosus describes pulmonary atresia with non-confluent mediastinal pulmonary arteries in which one pulmonary artery arises from a patent ductus arteriosus and the contralateral pulmonary artery from the aorta resulting in ductal dependent pulmonary blood flow. We describe a premature neonate with caudal regression syndrome and type A3 truncus arteriosus who was palliated with a ductal stent allowing completion of a prolonged neonatal ICU hospitalisation for multiple comorbidities.
