Abstract
Haemodynamically significant systemic-to-pulmonary artery collaterals may present as a cause of cardiorespiratory compromise in tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia. We present here a case of TOF with pulmonary atresia with aneurysmally dilated aorto-pulmonary collateral causing compression over trachea, presenting as dry irritating cough who died suddenly with haemoptysis probably due to rupture of hypertrophied bronchial collaterals or direct erosion of large major aorto-pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCA) into the respiratory tract.Entities:
