morphological left ventricle, and the developing right ventricle gives rise to the entirety of the developing outflow tract (Figure 28). The differences in morphology between the two phenotypic variants
of tricuspid atresia serve to illustrate the differences between the hypoplastic right ventricle found in the setting of the imperforate valve, and the incomplete ventricle found in the absence of the right atrioventricular connection. Both variants, however, produce functionally univentricular hearts.
19 What is the developmental background of common
arterial trunk?
The phenotypic feature of common arterial trunk is the commonality
of the ventriculo-arterial junction, rather than the presence of a common intrapericardial arterial component or ‘truncus’. The essential feature of common arterial trunk, therefore, is
persistence of the undivided embryonic ‘conus’, specifically the intermediate and proximal components of the outflow tract, rather than lack of division of its distal component (Figure 29). When the term ‘persistent truncus arteriosus’ was first introduced, it
was used to describe the distal part of the developing outflow tract, which is separated by the development of a protrusion from the dorsal wall of the aortic sac to produce the intrapericardial arterial trunks. It is the manner of separation of the distal part of the outflow tract
that, traditionally, has been used to subcategorise the examples of common arterial trunk. In the initial approach, four types were described by Collett and
Edwards according to the origin of the pulmonary arteries. Type IV was subsequently recognised to be a solitary arterial trunk, rather than a common trunk, since it was defined on the basis of absence of the intrapericardial pulmonary arteries. In the revised version proposed by Van Praagh and Van Praagh,
Types I and II of the Collett and Edwards classification were unified as Types 1 and 2. The Van Praaghs then introduced new Types 3 and 4, to account for variants with discontinuous pulmonary arteries and hypoplasia of the aortic component of the trunk, respectively. At the same time, the Van Praaghs pointed out that a simpler
approach was to separate the variants according to the dominance of the aortic as opposed to the pulmonary component of the common arterial trunk. The concept of aortic as opposed to pulmonary dominance provides
a much simpler categorisation. It is pulmonary dominance that is

genetically modified so as to produce common basis of a trunk that gives rise directly to the systemic, pulmonary and coronary arteries: A) following knock-out of the Tbx1 gene, there has been no separation of the distal outflow tract, so that the trunk has an aortic dominance; B) following disruption of the Furin enzyme, the aortopulmonary septum (white arrow) has grown so as to divide the distal outflow tract disproportionately in favour of the pulmonary component of the trunk.

accompanied by interruption of the aortic arch or severe coarctation. When there is aortic dominance, it then becomes necessary to describe with precision the origin of the pulmonary arteries. In the majority of cases, the pulmonary arteries arise in close
proximity to each other from the posterior or leftward component of the aortic dominant trunk, meaning that frequently they are described as ‘Type 1½’ using traditional classifications. The origin of the pulmonary arteries, however, can involve one of the
sinuses of the truncal root, whilst the right and left pulmonary arteries can cross as they extend towards the mediastinum.
20 What is transposition?
Transposition literally means ‘placed across’ and it refers to the
placement of the arterial roots across the ventricular septum, such that they arise from morphologically inappropriate ventricles. Irrespective of the atrioventricular connections, which can be
concordant, discordant, mixed in the setting of isomeric atrial appendages, or univentricular, the transposition is always ‘complete’ in the sense that each of the arterial trunks is completely placed across the septum. The commonest variant is now simply described as ‘transposition’. In
most instances, it is usually qualified to include ‘of the great arteries’. The latter part, however, is redundant. The discordant ventriculo-arterial connections can be found with
various relationships of the arterial trunks and with varied infundibular morphology. The combination of discordant ventriculo-arterial connections with concordant atrioventricular connections can itself be found in usual or mirror-imaged variants. Most usually, the aortic root is found anteriorly and to the right. It can,
nonetheless, be found in a leftward location. The latter relationship is the rule when transposition is found in its mirror-imaged variant. It is inappropriate, therefore, to use ‘d-transposition’ as being the default option for transposition. The presence of a ventricular septal defect, or obstruction of the
ventricular outflow tracts, are the associated malformations of greatest clinical significance. The developmental defect underscoring the production of the
discordant ventriculo-arterial connections is the fusion of the major outflow cushions in the outflow tract in a straight as opposed to their normal spiralling fashion (Figure 30). The fusion of the outflow cushions in a straight as opposed to
spiralling fashion serves to join the rightward component of the

Ongoing development in the mice with the knock-out gene produces either transposition or double-outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary interventricular communication. It is the fusion of the outflow cushions in a straight as opposed to spiralling fashion that underscores these changes.

proximal outflow tract to the aortic component of the aortic sac, and the leftward component to the pulmonary component. It is then the leftward component of the outflow tract, which is closest to the embryonic interventricular communication that is transferred to the developing left ventricle, thus producing the discordant ventriculo­arterial connections.
21 How can transposition be congenitally corrected?
When discordant ventriculo-arterial connections (transposition) are
associated with concordant atrioventricular connections, the systemic and pulmonary circulations are arranged in parallel, rather than in series. Connections across the atrioventricular junctions, in a discordant
fashion as opposed to concordant, serve to ‘correct’ the discordant ventriculo-arterial connections. By virtue of the double discordance, the circulations are then again in series, even though the arterial trunks are supported by morphologically inappropriate ventricles. This occurs as a consequence of looping of the ventricular
component of the heart tube in a mirror-imaged fashion compared to normal. In the usual situation, the ventricular component of the heart tube
loops to the right. Expansion of the atrioventricular canal then places the developing right atrium in communication with the developing right ventricle, hence ensuring the formation of concordant atrioventricular connections. If the ventricular component of the heart tube should loop to the left,
in contrast, expansion of the atrioventricular canal will similarly take place in a leftward direction. This will serve to connect the developing left atrium to the right ventricle, which is derived from the outlet component of the heart tube. It will be positioned in a left-sided position subsequent to leftward ventricular looping. In the setting of a mirror-imaged atrial arrangement, it will be
rightward looping of the ventricular component of the heart tube that will produce discordant, rather than concordant, atrioventricular connections. Almost always, the formation of discordant atrioventricular
connections sets the scene for associated formation of discordant ventriculo-arterial connections. On occasion, nonetheless, the ventriculo-arterial connection can be that of a double-outlet right ventricle. On rare occasions, furthermore, the ventriculo-arterial connections can be concordant. The latter combination will produce the haemodynamic picture of regular transposition.

22 What is the classification system used to describe the
origin of the coronary arteries?
Almost always, the major coronary arteries arise from one or other,
but usually both, of the sinuses of the aortic root that are adjacent to the pulmonary root. Endothelial stems grow out from the developing aortic root, which
occurs during the separation of the intermediate part of the outflow tract into its aortic and pulmonary components. The stems initially develop distal to the myocardial turret that surrounds the intermediate part of the outflow tract. They are incorporated into the sinuses, as the sinuses themselves expand proximally relative to the myocardial boundary of the developing outflow tract. The major coronary arteries themselves are formed within the
atrioventricular and interventricular grooves, producing in this way the right, anterior interventricular and circumflex arteries. With normal development, the endothelial stem growing from the
leftward of the two aortic valvar sinuses formed adjacent to the pulmonary root joins with the anterior interventricular and circumflex
46
arteries. The stem from the rightward adjacent sinus joins with the right coronary artery. According to the Leiden classification, as viewed by an observer
standing upright (figuratively speaking) in the sinus that is not adjacent to the pulmonary trunk, one of the sinuses will be to their right hand. This sinus is conventionally nominated as #1. The other sinus will be to the left hand of the observer and it is nominated as #2 (Figure 31). This arrangement of the aortic valvar sinuses, as seen by the
observer standing in the non-adjacent sinus, will remain constant irrespective of the relationship of the arterial roots to each other. On this basis, the arrangement of the right, circumflex and anterior interventricular arteries can be described in constant fashion in terms of their origin from either the right-handed (#1) or left-handed (#2) aortic sinuses. According to their relationship to the arterial pedicles, each of the arteries can arise from either of the adjacent valvar sinuses. In the setting of transposition, the commonest pattern is for the main
stem of the left coronary artery to arise from sinus #1, and to divide into the anterior interventricular and circumflex arteries. The right coronary artery then takes its origin from sinus #2. Any arrangement is possible, including the crossing of coronary
arteries so as to arise from seemingly inappropriate sinuses. The arteries can also cross between the arterial roots with an interarterial course, usually with an intramural location within the wall of the aortic

root. In most instances, nonetheless, the coronary arteries will arise from their closest sinus according to the relationship of the arterial roots.
23 What is the aortopulmonary septum?
In the postnatal heart, each of the aortic and pulmonary pathways
can be considered as possessing a ventricular outflow tract, an arterial root, and then intrapericardial and extrapericardial arterial components. At present, it is usual to assess the developing outflow tract in terms
of its components labelled as the ‘truncus’ and ‘conus’, along with an extrapericardial aortic sac. If we presume that the ‘conus’ gives rise to the ventricular outflow tracts and the ‘truncus’ to the intrapericardial arterial trunks, with the extrapericardial arterial pathways derived from the aortic sac, however, the current categorisation makes no provision for the arterial roots. A better approach considers the outflow tract as possessing
48
proximal, intermediate and distal components, with the cavity of the distal component becoming continuous with the cavity of the aortic sac at the margins of the pericardial cavity. The intermediate component can be recognised in anatomic terms by
the appearance within its lumen of the intercalated swellings. The distal ends of these swellings, along with the major outflow cushions, will cavitate to produce the leaflets of the arterial valves, with the arterial roots forming within the intermediate component of the outflow tract (Figure 32). Earlier in development, the aortic sac is the manifold that gives rise
to the arteries of the pharyngeal arches, which will themselves transform into the extrapericardial components of the aortic and pulmonary pathways. The arteries of the 3rd and 4th arches will form the systemic pathways, while the arteries of the pulmonary arches will give rise to the right and left pulmonary arteries, which develop within the pharyngeal mesenchyme. At this stage, it is the dorsal wall of the aortic sac that represents the aortopulmonary septum (Figure
33). With ongoing development, the dorsal wall of the aortic sac grows
and protrudes into the cavity of the distal outflow tract, separating it into the intrapericardial components of the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. The protrusion is the aortopulmonary septum.

The proximal part will become separated into the ventricular outflow tracts, with the intermediate part being transformed into the arterial roots, and the distal part forming the intrapericardial arterial trunks. The dotted white line shows the site of fusion between the aortopulmonary septum and the major cushions within the outflow tract. This obliterates the embryonic aortopulmonary foramen.

The protrusion eventually fuses with the distal ends of the major
outflow cushions to obliterate the embryonic aortopulmonary foramen. The major cushions themselves fuse with each other so as to separate, the arterial roots distally, and the right and left ventricular outflow tracts proximally. Failure of fusion of the protrusion with the ends of the major outflow
cushions results in persistence of an aortopulmonary window. Failure of fusion of the major outflow cushions themselves produces
a common arterial trunk.
