had complete transposition of the great vessels with associated pulmonic stenosis and would, therefore, benet from a subclavian-pulmonary artery anastomosis.
At operation the pulmonary artery, which was approximately the same size as the aorta, was observed to arise from the left ventricle and in a position directly posterior to the aorta. Pressures measured simultaneously in the pulmonary artery and aorta were equal. Alarge number of dilated bronchial arteries and veins were present in the hili of the lungs, in the interlobar ssures and along the subpleural surface of the lungs. Because of the high pressure in the pulmonary artery, an anas­tomosis was not performed. Postoperatively, the patient became progressively more cyanotic, and his condition gradually deteriorated until he died eighteen hours after operation.
PATHOLOGIC FINDINGS
Necropsy conrmed the operative nding of complete transposition of the great ves­sels. The aorta arose exclusively from the right ventricle (Figure 3) and the pulmo­nary trunk from the left ventricle. The ascending aorta lay directly anterior to the pulmonary trunk. Both ventricles were hypertrophied; the left measured 0.1cm. and the right, 0.9cm. in greatest thickness. Aventricular septal defect was present immediately inferior to the supraventricularis muscle (Figure 3). Both atria were dilated, the right more than the left. The atrial appendages were normally situated. Avalvular-competent foramen ovale was present. The venae cavae entered the right atrium, and the pulmonary veins entered the left atrium in a normal manner. The atrioventricular valves were normally developed. The pulmonic valve lay posteriorly and joined the anterior mitral leaet in a manner similar to the connections between the mitral and aortic valves in a normal heart. The cusps of the pulmonic and aor­tic valves were delicate and pliable and there was no evidence of stenosis. Three large bronchial arteries arose directly from the descending thoracic aorta (Figure 4) and coursed along the posterior aspect of the lower trachea and main bronchi before entering the hili of the lungs (Figure 5). No atherosclerotic changes were present in the pulmonary artery or aorta. The ostia of the coronary arteries arose from the two posterior sinuses of Valsalva (Figure 3).
Microscopically, in the sections from the hili of the lungs many dilated, thick­walled bronchial arteries surrounding the bronchi were seen (Figure 6A). Also, there was proliferation of the intima of some bronchial arteries (Figure 6B), a nding which has not received attention in the past. Many dilated bronchial veins were seen

in the subpleural areas of the lungs, particularly the hilar regions. Sections from the main pulmonary arteries showed the elastic bers arranged in an orderly fashion similar to those found in a fetal pulmonary artery (Figure 7). This picture is noted in the lungs of patients in whom pulmonary hypertension has been present from birth and in whom the normal transition to the adult type of pulmonary artery has not taken place.

The elastic and muscular pulmonary arteries were dilated, and the latter showed medial hypertrophy and occasional intimal thickening. The lumina of the pulmonary arterioles were narrowed by intimal proliferation (Figure 8).

There are few documented reports in the literature of augmentation of the bronchial circulation in association with transposition of the great vessels. The combination of complete transposition of the great vessels with pulmonary hyper­tension and enlarged bronchial arteries in particular, has not been well described previously. The case of transposition of the great vessels which Cockle in 1863 had enlarged bronchial vessels and probably a normal or increased pul­monary artery pressure, since there was no stenosis of the pulmonic valve and the pulmonary artery was larger than the aorta. Also, no obstruction of the pulmonary

demonstrated extensive bronchial collateral circulation by injection technics. The pulmonary arteries were dilated and communicated freely with the vasa vasorum supplied by the bronchial arteries.
Bronchopulmonary arterial communications may be found in patients with
single ventricle and pulmonary hypertension as in the case reported by Heath,
9
in which bronchial collaterals were prominent in the adventitia of large arteries, sur­rounding the bronchi and along the visceral pleura. In a similar case illustrated by Liebow,
10
proliferated bronchial arteries were demonstrated to communicate with tortuous pulmonary vessels. In the lungs of patients with Eisenmenger’s complex, collateral channels in the form of angiomatoid lesions may connect the pulmonary and bronchial circulations. patent ductus arteriosus with pulmonary hypertension septal defect and pulmonary hypertension
11
Similar lesions have been reported in patients with
14
; these vessels may divert blood to the
12, 13
and in those with atrial
alveolar capillaries.
It appears, therefore, that there is a wide spectrum of malformations in which collateral channels to the lungs may develop. The presence of reduced pulmonary blood ow or the absence of elevated pulmonary vascular resistance should not be suspected in a patient with cyanotic congenital heart disease merely because of the existence of enlarged bronchial vessels. Catheterization of the pulmonary artery is difcult or impossible in patients with transposition of the great vessels, single ventricle, truncus arteriosus and other complicated forms of cyanotic heart disease; therefore, the use of right- and left-sided angiocardiography would be valuable in assessing the size of the pulmonary artery, the relative amount of pulmonary blood ow and in estimating the pulmonary artery pressure.
In the patient reported herein a right ventricular angiocardiogram was per­formed, but because of the presence of complete transposition of the great vessels only the aorta was opacied; the pulmonary artery could not be visualized. As this case illustrates, the clinical picture associated with cyanotic heart disease and pul­monary hypertension may be confused with that associated with obstruction to pul­monary ow secondary to obstruction in the right ventricular outow tract or at the pulmonary valve. The reduced pulmonary vascularity on the roentgenogram in this patient was suggestive of a reduced pulmonary artery pressure. The closely split second heart sound heard at the base resulted from the presence of equal pressures in the great vessels rather than from an obstruction to right ventricular outow. The very soft systolic murmur probably indicated that only a small amount of blood passed across the ventricular septal defect, due to the equal ventricular pressures. Accordingly, it is essential that a thorough angiographic and hemodynamic evalu­ation of the pulmonary vascular bed precede any operative procedure designed to increase pulmonary blood ow in patients with transposition of the great vessels.
SUMMARY
The clinical, diagnostic and pathologic ndings in a fourteen month old infant with complete transposition of the great vessels, ventricular septal defect and pulmo­nary hypertension with increased bronchial collateral circulation are presented. It is emphasized that the presence of increased bronchial collateral blood ow is not necessarily associated with decreased pulmonary blood ow due to obstruction to right ventricular outow, but may also be associated with pulmonary hypertension and elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance. Thus, the presence of enlarged bronchial vessels should not indicate that the patient will benet from an opera­tion designed to increase the pulmonary blood ow. The importance of right and left ventricular angiocardiograms in the preoperative assessment of the pulmonary vascular bed is discussed.

Case 12 Anomalous Origin of Both Coronary Arteries from the Pulmonary Artery*
William C. Roberts, MD
Bethesda, Maryland
ANOMALOUS origin of either one or both coronary arteries from the pulmo­nary artery is rare. Less than 70 cases involving the left coronary artery have been reported. About 15 per cent of the patients lived to adulthood and had no recog­nizable clinical abnormalities; graphic features characteristic of this condition (Bland-White-Garland syndrome and died in infancy. Recognition of this anomaly is important because surgical treatment appears benecial.

the other 85 per cent had clinical and electrocardio-

less common, about 20 patients having been reported. These patients characteristi­cally have no clinical symptoms referable to the anomaly, which is usually only an incidental nding at autopsy. Origin of both coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery is exceedingly rare, only seven patients having previously been reported.

CASE REPORT
N. M., a male Indian born of a normal pregnancy and delivery, died on his seventh day of life in the Turtle Mountain Indian Hospital, Belcourt, North Dakota. He had cyanosis and labored respirations at birth, and these symptoms progressively wors­ened until his death. No heart murmur was ever heard. The heart was normal in size by chest roentgenogram. He was treated with oxygen and digitalis without benet.
Autopsy was performed at the Indian Hospital, and subsequently the heart and other tissues were submitted to the National Institutes of Health for examination. The heart (Figure 1) weighed 27 gm., and the right atrium, right ventricle and left ventricle were dilated and hypertrophied. The wall of each ventricle measured up to 0.4cm. in thickness. The endocardium of the outow tract of the left ventricle was mildly but uniformly opaque. The four cardiac valves were normal. The foramen ovale was closed. Both coronary arteries originated from the pulmonary artery. The ostium of the right coronary artery was located in the right posterior sinus, and the left one in the left posterior pulmonic sinus. No coronary arteries arose from the aortic valve sinuses (Figure 2); the course of distribution of the coronary arteries, which were of equal size, from there on was normal. The lungs were dark purple, virtually solid and without crepitation.
Histologically, the coronary arteries had the structure of arterial channels (Figure3A), although they carried only venous blood. Sections through both ventri­cles (Figure 3B) disclosed minimal interstitial myocardial edema but no myocardial brosis nor inammation. Myocardial bers were fragmented, and cross-striations (phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin stain) were poorly preserved. Some of the myo­cardial nuclei appeared enlarged, but most were normal. There was no periodic

Figure 2 Sketch of heart showing both coronary arteries arising from the pul­monic valve sinuses. The left coronary artery arises from the left posterior sinus and is composed of a circumex branch which courses anterior to the aortic valve to lie in the left atrioventricular sulcus, and an anterior descending branch which descends in the anterior interventricular sulcus. The right main coronary artery arises in the right posterior pulmonic sinus and lies in the right atrioventricular sulcus, giving off several small branches, and at the base of the posterior interventricular sulcus becomes the posterior descending coronary artery.

Cross-striations in the myocardial bers were easily discernible in the frozen section. Section of the main pulmonary artery stained for elastic bers (Verhoeff-Van Giesen method) disclosed a fetal, i.e., aortic-like, conguration of the elastica of this vessel. In the sections from the lungs there were extensive atelectasis and congestion.
COMMENT
Clinical Features: In contrast to the diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, the antemortem diagnosis of anomalous origin of both coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery has not been reported. The probable reason is that this latter condition has not been considered clinically, and thus remains only a postmortem curiosity. However, the clinical features in both conditions are similar (Table 1) and sufciently characteristic so that the diagnosis might be suggested before death. The newborn is cyanotic and dyspneic from birth or shortly thereafter. On the other hand, patients with only the left coronary artery originating from the pulmonary artery are normal at birth and usually remain so for one to three months when evidence of heart failure, irritability or discomfort, and respiratory infection appears. The heart in children with two anomalous cor­onary arteries is usually enlarged (as it is in those with anomalous left coronary artery), sometimes reaching huge proportions, as in the patient reported by Swann and Werthammer.

No precordial murmurs are heard unless there is an associated defect of the heart or great vessels. Frank signs of heart failure are usually apparent, and these progressively worsen. Feedings are poorly tolerated. The electrocardio­gram is virtually pathognomonic in the symptomatic infant with anomalous left coronary artery,
2, 12
but no tracing has been made in reported cases of anomalous ori­gin of both coronary arteries from the pulmonary artery. Findings of left ventricular ischemia would be expected. Breathing gradually becomes more labored, and life ends before two weeks have elapsed.
Pathologic Features: At autopsy, the ventricles, particularly the left one, are typi­cally dilated and hypertrophied, and the endocardium of the left ventricle may be thickened. The coronary arteries, which arise from the right and left sinuses of the pulmonic valve (the anterior sinus being the noncoronary one), are normally distrib­uted. Histologically, they may have the same morphologic features herein described;
