ABSTRACT
We report a young man who has persistent truncus arteriosus (TA), severe truncal regurgitation and unilateral pulmonary hypertension. Our patient had palliative main pulmonary artery (PA) banding done during infancy that was not followed by definitive corrective surgery. Unilateral irreversible left sided pulmonary hypertension developed due to migration of the PA band to the right PA. The patient presented to us with infective endocarditis of the truncal valve. This had resolved with medical treatment. Discussion was made on general management of TA and specific difficult management issues of palliated TA in adult, as found in our patient.
