title: Persistent truncus arteriosus with aortic dominance in female adult patient.
abstract: Persistent truncus arteriosus categories associated with different natural histories and various surgical approaches were reported. Although pulmonary overflow and severe heart failure are common, some patients who have hypoplastic pulmonary artery systems may show lesser symptoms of heart failure and remain in relatively stable condition. We experienced a 33-year-old woman with uncorrected type II persistent truncus arteriosus who presented with cyanosis rather than congestive heart failure, and are presenting her images.
