La ventana aortopulmonar es una malformación congénita conotroncal poco frecuente. Ocasionalmente puede asociarse a otros defectos arteriales o intracardíacos como interrupción de arco aórtico y tetralogía de Fallot. Excepcionalmente coexiste con transposición de grandes arterias.

The cardiovascular sequelae by the SARS-COV-2 infection is prevalent in a significant portion of the recovered patients from the acute presentation of the SARS-COV-2. Actually, the clinic cardiac control of the post-acute COVID syndrome has been working out without a well-established protocol, making the appropriate diagnosis of the cardiac diseases produced by the different damage mechanisms from COVID-19.Standardize cardiovascular care and the follow up of COVID-19 survivors in the function on disease severity and identify patients who develop SPC-19A for timely care.Through an extensive bibliographic review, this article has the purpose of provide the necessary information to make possible the early diagnosis and following of the cardiac complications that has been recorded trough the months after the acute disease from COVID-19.Las secuelas cardiovasculares ocasionadas por la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) son frecuentes en una importante proporción de los pacientes recuperados del cuadro agudo de la enfermedad. Hasta el día de hoy el seguimiento cardiológico del síndrome agudo post-COVID-19 (SPC-19A) se ha realizado de forma heterogénea y sin directrices que permitan al clínico identificar oportunamente los cambios que preceden a enfermedades cardiológicas derivadas de los distintos mecanismos de daño inducidos por COVID-19.Estandarizar la atención y seguimiento cardiovascular de los supervivientes de COVID-19 en función de la gravedad de la enfermedad e identificar a los pacientes que desarrollen SPC-19A para su atención oportuna.Mediante una revisión extensa de bibliografía, este documento tiene la intención de unificar y proporcionar la información necesaria para diagnosticar y dar seguimiento a las complicaciones cardiacas que se han documentado en los meses posteriores a la resolución de la COVID-19 aguda.

The anomalous origin of pulmonary branches is a rare entity where, either the right or the left pulmonary arteries arise from the ascending aorta and where the aortic and pulmonary valves are separated. Clinical manifestations usually appear in the infant or, more rarely, in the newborn and include respiratory distress or congestive heart failure due to increased pulmonary resistance. The survival rate in an Indian series was 94% with the death of one patient from Fallot tetralogy. We have treated five patients with this congenital heart disease in 20 years; the survival rate was of 80% and in all survival cases, the systolic pressure was significantly decreased. The current treatment of choice, consisting of the anatomical correction with translocation of the right pulmonary artery to the pulmonary trunk, was first performed by Kirkpatrick in 1961. The aim of this paper is to show the Mexican experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the anomalous origin of pulmonary branches from the ascending aorta. Conclusion Early surgery with timely correction of this congenital heart disease improves the prognosis and survival rate of patients, with a reduction in pulmonary hypertension. Learning objective: This article reports a series of cases of anomalous origin of the pulmonary branches from the ascending aorta. This is a rare congenital anomaly of difficult clinical diagnosis that is often accompanied by other associated anomalies. The diagnosis is based on image studies such as computed tomography and echocardiography and the hemodynamic evaluation is essential to determine a surgical procedure. The surgical treatment consists of the anatomists of the pulmonary branch to the pulmonary trunk.>
