Key result
Case report identifies hypertrophied bronchial arteries alongside transposed pulmonary trunk and complex congenital defects.
Why the study?
Hypertrophy of the bronchial arteries is frequently seen in pulmonary stenosis, atresia, and persistent truncus arteriosus, but the combination with a patent, transposed pulmonary trunk and right sided aorta is rare.
Case Report (n=1)
Describes the injection of the bronchial circulation in a case of transposition, noting historical context of bronchial artery hypertrophy in congenital heart defects.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Adds descriptive anatomy in transposition; leaves open whether bronchial hypertrophy affects outcomes in congenital heart disease.
Enlargement of the bronchial arteries in a case of pulmonary stenosis was first mentioned by Jacobson (1816).More recently East and Barnard (1938), Campbell and Gardner (1950), Grosse- Brockhoff et al. (1950), and Allanby et al. (1950) reported increases in the bronchial circulation in pulmonary atresia.In the experience of Taussig (1947), hypertrophy of the bronchial arteries is frequently seen in pulmonary stenosis and atresia and in persistent truncus arteriosus.The present case concerns the combination of hypertrophied bronchial arteries with a patent, transposed pulmonary trunk, a right sided aorta, and a ventricular septal defect.

Cudkowicz et al. (1952) conducted a case report in Hypertrophied bronchial arteries with transposed pulmonary trunk, right-sided aorta, and ventricular septal defect (n=1). A case report identified the combination of hypertrophied bronchial arteries with a patent, transposed pulmonary trunk, a right-sided aorta, and a ventricular septal defect.
