A persistant truncus is when the aorta is the only outflow tract for both the left and right side of the heard, whereas the PDA is when the ductus arteriosus doesn't close and you have a direct communication between the aorta and the pulmonary artery, and these patients will present with late cyanosis.

so rida this means in persistent truncus arteriosis the shunt is right to left.
but in PDA shunt is from left to right but i think later on due to pressure right to left.
am i right rida? :roll:

Santa Clara,
There are 3 phases for PDA:
Fetal Life: R-->L shunt
Neonatal: L-->R shunt
Later on: R-->L shunt

Santa Clara,
Di George's syndrome is a/w Persistent Truncus. U're right...it's a failure of aorticopulm septum to form and it's neurocrest in origin.
Conditions that require opened PDA/VSD/foramen ovale, are the R-->L shunts. Look at FA page 225.
