Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Rescue of a Newborn with Right Pulmonary Artery Anomalous Origin from Aorta and Aortic Arch Narrowing
Abstract：The incidence of anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the aorta (AORPA) is approximately 0.1% [1]. AORPA is typically divided into two types: Type I is characterized by increased pulmonary blood flow, often presenting with lower respiratory tract infections and congestive heart failure within the first 6 months of life, leading to tissue hypoperfusion, severe acidosis, and if not treated promptly, the 1-year survival rate may be as low as 30% [2]; Type II is associated with obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, resulting in reduced right ventricular output and later onset of symptoms.
