Pulmonary artery coming from the aorta (PACA) is a cardiac malformation characterized by anomalous origin of one branch of the pulmonary arteries from the ascending aorta and a normal origin of the other pulmonary artery from the right ventricular outflow tract, and presenting with respiratory distress, congestive heart failure and failure to thrive within the first days/months of life.
Features include very common findings: Anomalous origin of right pulmonary artery from ascending aorta and Abnormal cardiovascular system morphology; and common findings: Cyanosis, Failure to thrive, Atrial septal defect, and Congestive heart failure and others. 26 total HPO annotations.
