title: The angiocardiographic diagnosis of a persistent truncus arteriosus in a foal.
abstract: Persistent truncus arteriosus is a relatively rare cardiac anomaly which is associated with a single large artery arising from the ventricles. An interventricular septal defect is invariably present. The vessel gives origin to the pulmonary trunk, aorta and coronary arteries. A description of the angiocardiographic diagnosis of this condition is given as well as a general review of the relative developmental anatomy.
