parenchyma in various cardiopulmonary diseases with underlying pulmonary …

Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) are congenital vessels that arise from
the aorta or its first-order branches and are distally connected to the pulmonary arterial …

Broadly defined, aortopulmonary collateral blood vessels (APCs) arise from the systemic
arteries and supply blood to the pulmonary circulation. In the setting of acquired and …

Congenital systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries or major aortopulmonary collaterals are
associated with cyanotic congenital heart disease with decreased pulmonary blood flow …

Achieving an optimal surgical result in patients with major aortopulmonary collateral arteries
(MAPCAs) requires a thorough preoperative evaluation of the anatomy and physiology of …
