Figure 3 Biplane angiocardiograms with injection into the right ventricle (R.V.). The aorta is in a relatively rightward and anterior position, originating entirely from the right ventricle. The enlarged pulmonary trunk is biventricular in origin. The two semilunar valves are in the same horizontal plane (see Figure 5). The patent ductus arteriosus (P.D.A.) is readily identied. The coronary arteries are tortuous and dilated (see Figure 4).
straddled a large ventricular septal defect (2.2cm. in diameter) that was situated just beneath the pulmonary valve (Figure 5). Alarge patent ductus arteriosus was present and there was hypoplasia of the transverse aorta (Figure 6). The foramen ovale was probe-patent but valvular-competent. The right and left coronary arter­ies and their branches were aneurysmally dilated and tortuous (Figure 6 through

published photographs of the heart of a thirty-four year old man with complete transposition of the great vessels. Unusually large, tortuous extramural coronary arteries were clearly visible but no comment was made about these vessels. In 1966 Bjork

reported “a rare and previously unde­scribed anomaly consisting of marked dilatation and tortuosity of the coronary arteries ... in one adult and two children with tetralogy of Fallot.” There were no abnormal communications between the coronary arteries or between them and the cardiac chambers or other vessels. Bjork called the anomaly “ectasia of the coronary arteries.” Dr. Owings W. Kincaid and Dr. Jack L. Titus at the Mayo Clinic reviewed the coronary arteriograms shown in part in Figure4. They commented upon their own experience in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease of long duration together with dilated coronary arteries in the absence of other anomalies of these

also remarked that the ectasia may become more pronounced with increasing age.
The cause of these morphologic changes in the coronary arteries is unknown, but the following speculation is offered. Nutritional requirements of myocardium normally demand maximal extraction of oxygen from coronary arterial blood,

Figure 5 The exterior of the heart is shown in the upper left, and its interior (follow- ing removal of the anterior one-half) in the upper right. The pulmonary trunk (P.T.) is markedly dilated. The aorta (Ao.) arises entirely from the right ventricle (R.V.). The pulmonary trunk and pulmonic valve (P.V.) are so dilated and the ventricular septal defect (V.S.D.) so situated that this great vessel overrides both ventricles and receives blood from each of them, but mainly from the left (L.V.). The entrances into the great arteries are separated from one another by the septal band of the crista supraventric­ularis. The aortic (A.V.) and pulmonic (P.V.) valves are in the same horizontal plane. The patent ductus arteriosus (P.D.A.) is large but noncalcied. Both right (R.C.A.) and left (L.C.A.) coronary arteries are enormously dilated and tortuous, particularly the right one. The anterior descending (A.D.) branch of the left coronary is indicated. The right ventricular wall is severely hypertrophied (1.4cm.) and thicker than the left ventricular wall (1.2cm.). R.A.=right atrial appendage. Lower left, opened right ventricle (R.V.).

Figure 6 Coronary arteries, aorta and pulmonary trunk. Left, right (R.C.A.) and left (L.C.A.) coronary arteries as they arise from the aorta. The right one particularly is enormously dilated and tortuous. Two large tortuous arteries arise from it to sup­ply the anterior and lateral walls of the right ventricle. P.A.= pulmonary trunk; R.P.A.= right pulmonary artery; R. A.=right atrial appendage. Right, note again the large size of the pulmonary trunk compared to the ascending (Asc.) aorta. The transverse aorta, particularly that portion between the origins of the left carotid, (L.C.) and vertebral artery (V.) is narrowed and considerably smaller than the lumen of the patent ductus arteriosus (P.D.A.). The vertebral artery (V.) arises anomalously directly from the aorta. The descending (Des.) aorta proximally is much larger than the transverse aorta as is the patent ductus arteriosus. L.P.A.=left pulmonary artery; L.A.A.=left atrial appendage.
which is high in oxygen content. When the aortic root saturation is low, as it is in the presence of a right to left intracardiac shunt, maximal extraction may not provide the heart with adequate oxygen. Under these circumstances, the decit may be over­come by increased ow through the coronary bed. Alarge ow acting over a pro­tracted period of time may result in dilatation and tortuosity of the coronary arteries found in some patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease of long-standing.
Right ventricular origin of both great vessels is a malformation in which the pulmo­nary trunk arises in its normal position but the aorta arises entirely from the right ventricle.

Aventricular septal defect provides the left ventricle with its only out­let. The position of the ventricular septal defect may be above the crista supraven­tricularis just beneath the pulmonic valve but some distance from the aortic valve. Blood from the left ventricle is directed principally toward the pulmonary trunk, and from the right ventricle blood is directed toward the aorta so that cyanosis is invariable. The peak systolic pressures are the same in the right ventricle, aorta and pulmonary artery. The ventricular septal defect is generally large, and the anterior mitral leaet usually lacks continuity with both aortic and pulmonic valves.

high location of the ventricular septal defect permits direct communication between the left ventricle and the pulmonary trunk, although the latter vessel originates wholly from the right ventricle. In some patients in whom the aorta arises entirely from the right ventricle, the pulmonary trunk straddles the ventricular septal defect to varying degrees and is therefore biventricular in origin.
7, 8
This condition of right ventricular origin of the aorta and biventricular origin of the pulmonary trunk is clinically similar to right ventricular origin of both great vessels with high ventricular septal defect. The internal architecture of the heart, however, has some features of complete transposition of the great vessels, especially when the pulmonary trunk arises princi­pally from the left ventricle. elements of the mitral and pulmonary valves.

Under these circumstances there is continuity between

It has been argued that varying degrees of biventricular origin of the pulmonary trunk are part of a continuum, with right ventricular origin of both great vessels at one end of the spectrum and com­plete transposition of the great vessels at the other. the gradations in this continuum should be separately designated or whether they should merely be considered variations of each other. ditions, i.e. “right ventricular origin of both great vessels” lar origin of the aorta with biventricular origin of the pulmonary trunk” taken to represent the “Taussig-Bing” complex.

In the patient described in this report, the aorta arose entirely from the right ven­tricle, and the pulmonary trunk was biventricular in origin arising partially from the right ventricle but principally from the left (Figures 3 and 5). The peak systolic pressures were the same in the right ventricle and in both great arteries (Table 1).

Pulmonary hypertension had apparently been present from birth since the congu­ration of elastic bers in the pulmonary trunk was virtually indistinguishable from that in the ascending aorta trations were higher in the pulmonary artery than in the ascending aorta (Table 1) indicating that the left ventricle communicated directly with the pulmonary trunk which straddled the ventricular septal defect (Figures 3 and 5). The biventricular origin of the dilated pulmonary trunk and the right ventricular origin of the aorta were clearly shown in the angiocardiograms (Figure 3) and at necropsy (Figure 5).

The transverse sections of the pul- monary trunk and aorta were taken 1cm. above the superior margins of the semi­lunar valves, each is taken at the same magnication (× 135), and each is stained for elastic bers by the van Gieson method. The conguration of the elastic bers of the pulmonary trunk indicates that pulmonary hypertension had been present from birth. Normally, after one year of age, the pulmonary trunk contains far less elastic bers than the ascending aorta. Lower, section of hilar area of one lung show- ing that the pulmonary arteries are greatly dilated and that there is an insignicant amount of intimal proliferation. Multiple sections in the lungs themselves disclosed the muscular pulmonary arteries and arterioles to be dilated but their lumens to be virtually free of intimal proliferation. The media of some of the muscular arteries was mildly hypertrophied. Thus, despite pulmonary hypertension for forty years as evidenced by aortization of the pulmonary trunk, there were only insignicant changes of the muscular pulmonary arteries and arterioles.

Since the aorta arose wholly from the right ventricle (Figure 5), the position of its ascending portion differed from normal

. The aortic root was relatively right­ward and anterior (Figure 3), the two semilunar valves were at the same body level (Figures 3 and 5), the root rose rather vertically (Figure 4) and the plane of its valve was horizontal rather than oblique

or with right ventricular aorta and biventricu-
hypoplasia of the transverse aorta, patent ductus arteriosus and anomalous origin of the vertebral artery (Figure 6). The patent ductus arteriosus, together with the abnormal position of the great arteries, set the stage for an unusual form of dif­ferential cyanosis in which the toes were relatively pink and the ngers frankly blue. Recognition of this distribution of cyanosis is clinically useful in suspect­ing the basic malformation.
16
Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle entered the pulmonary trunk and owed via the patent ductus arteriosus into the descending aorta. The toes, therefore, were relatively acyanotic and were clubbed little if at all. Unoxygenated blood from the right ventricle entered the ascending aorta so the n­gers were obviously cyanosed and clubbed. These circulatory pathways are illus­trated in Figure5.
It is noteworthy that our patient’s condition improved toward puberty. It may be postulated that in the early years of life, congestive cardiac failure occurred because pulmonary blood ow was excessive. As time went on, changes in pulmonary vas­cular resistance may have favorably regulated the amount of pulmonary blood ow so that even though adequate, it was not excessive. Under these circumstances the symptoms of cardiac failure may have been relieved and longevity improved. Patients with the Taussig-Bing complex have been known to live into the second, third or even fourth decades,

but our patient is the oldest subject with right ven­tricular origin of the aorta and biventricular origin of the pulmonary trunk thus far reported.
The brisk bouts of hemoptysis appeared analogous to the hemoptysis occa­sionally observed in the pulmonary hypertension of Eisenmenger’s complex patient described by Eisenmenger in 1897 was a thirty-two year old man who died following a large hemoptysis.

Case 84 Scimitar Syndrome Associated with Patent Ductus Arteriosus, Aortic Coarctation and Irreversible Pulmonary Hypertension
D. Luke Glancy, Nina S. Braunwald, Kevin P. O’Brien and William C. Roberts

Since it was rst recognized congenital malformation has been observed in over 70 patients, data together with detailed morphologic study at necropsy have been presented in only one of them

. This report describes the clinical, hemodynamic, and necropsy ndings in a boy with patent ductus arteriosus and preductile aortic coarctation, a complex of malformations not previously found in association with the scimitar syndrome.
REPORT OF PATIENT
A seven-year-old boy (C.C. #07-39-01) entered the National Heart Institute for eval­uation of cardiomegaly, rst noted at age two months, and a precordial murmur, discovered at age three years. During infancy he had gained weight slowly, had frequent respiratory infections, and had developed dyspnea and cyanosis with exer­tion. At age three years he had been given digoxin, and thereafter his respiratory infections and symptoms had steadily decreased. Examination (age seven) revealed a bulging precordium, a prominent left parasternal lift, and a loud pulmonic clo­sure sound. Agrade 3/6 continuous murmur beneath the left clavicle, a grade 2/6 basal systolic ejection murmur, and a grade 2/6 mid-diastolic rumble at the lower left sternal border were heard. Femoral arterial pulsations were full, but delayed. The electrocardiogram and chest roentgenograms are shown in Figures1 and 2, respectively.
At cardiac catheterization (TableI) oxygen step-ups were found high in the infe­rior vena cava and in the pulmonary artery. Pulmonary blood ow was calculated to be twice systemic ow, and the pulmonary resistance to be approximately one third of systemic resistance. A13mm Hg pressure gradient was measured across the junc­tion of an anomalous right pulmonary vein with the inferior vena cava at the level of the diaphragm. Pressures in the pulmonary artery and descending aorta, entered from the pulmonary artery, were identical. Cinearteriograms following an aortic root injection showed narrowing of the aortic isthmus and lling of the pulmonary artery from the aorta distal to the coarctation. A30mm Hg peak systolic pressure gradient was measured across the coarctation.
On August 23, 1967, the aortic coarctation was resected; its lumen measured
1.5mm in diameter (Figure5). Apatent ductus arteriosus, which was distal to the
