Successful surgical repair of pulmonary dominant common arterial trunk without aortic arch obstruction in a neonate

We report a 23-day-old baby with a pulmonary dominant trunk with mild aortic hypoplasia but with an arch free of coarctation or interruption, who underwent successful surgical repair. In the preoperative evaluation of a common arterial trunk, pulmonary dominance may not necessarily denote an adverse risk factor when the aorta is only mildly hypoplastic.
