Abstract

The occurrence of MAPCAs (major aortopulmonary collateral arteries) with TOF (tetralogy of Fallot) and bilateral hypoplastic pulmonary arteries together is a rare condition. Patients are typically middle-aged men who usually present with acute signs of cardiac manifestations. The anomalies have survival up to the fourth decade of life and are fraught with clinical challenges. Additionally, various congenital syndromic associations, such as DiGeorge syndrome, are associated with these anomalies. We report an extremely rare case of a 41-year-old male who came with complaints of chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, and headaches. The patient had a previous history of tuberculosis and a rare combination of MAPCAs with TOF and bilateral hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, with a right-sided aortic arch with an aplastic left subclavian artery. The importance of the case comes from the need to perform surgery on a middle-aged male who was completely asymptomatic prior to this.
