Abstract
Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are persistent embryonic arteries, which are quite common in such congenital heart defects as a single ventricle defect, tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia. The presence of such collaterals in the postnatal period may be associated with the development of heart failure in a child, infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, pulmonary hypertension. One of the reasons for such complications is the presence of competitive blood flow in the collaterals. In this article we present a clinical case of successful endovascular closure of hemodynamically significant major aortopulmonary collaterals by spirals in a child with a single ventricle defect in combination with aortic coarctation.
