Q

What forms the aortic arch in the newborn?

A

Aortic sac, AA IV, left dorsal aorta proximal to 7th intersegmental, left dorsal aorta distal to 7th intersegmental

29
Q

What happens to AA V?

A

never forms

30
Q

What happens to AA VI?

A

pulmonary arteries (along with aortic sac)

31
Q

Where does the heart start to grow?

A

cervical region

32
Q

Where does the heart end up?

A

thorax

33
Q

What causes the laryngeal nerve to become hooked around the future right subclavian?

A

regression of distal part of right AA VI (loss of connection to right dorsal aorta)

34
Q

What is the connection between the dorsal aorta and AA VI called on the left?

A

ductus arteriosus

35
Q

What nerve is hooked around the distal AA VI?

A

recurrent laryngeal N

36
Q

What happens to the left distal AA VI?

A

ligamentum arteriosum

37
Q

What happens to the dorsal aorta?

A
carotid duct (portion between AA III & AA IV) disappears. 
Right dorsal aorta disappears btwn right 7th intersegmental A and junction with left dorssal aorta. 
remaining segments fuse to form descending thoracic and abdominal aorta.
38
Q

What do the vitelline arteries form?

A

GI vasculature

39
Q

What do umbilical arteries form?

A

developing bladder arteries
distal end disappear after birth and become medial umbilical ligaments
proximal 5th lumbar intersegmental arteries - referred to as umbilical arteries in adult

40
Q

What causes the ductus arteriosus to close after birth? When does it close?

A

changes in blood oxygen tension, sudden drop in prostaglandin, increase in endothelin release from newborn lungs.
10-15 hours after birth

41
Q

Patent ductus arteriosus

A

1/3-1/2 blood traveling via aorta will enter pulmonary artery b/c systemic BP is higher. blood will circulate 2-3 times. LV hypertrophy. Pulmonary congestion and CHF. Blowing murmur after 1-3 years.

42
Q

What increases the risk for patent ductus arteriosus?

A

maternal rubella infection during early pregnancy

43
Q

What is the treatment for patent ductus arteriosus?

A

prostiglandin inhibitors (indomethacin) or surgery

44
Q

What is coarctation of the aorta?

A

narrowed aortic lumen below left subclavian A due to abnormal thickening of aortic wall

45
Q

____ is more frequent in Turner’s syndrome.

A

Coarctation of the aorta

46
Q

postductal coarctation of the aorta

A

sometimes not noticed b/c collateral circulation is established through intercostal arteries

47
Q

preductal coarctation of the aorta

A

collaterals not well developed, little or no blood to lower body and legs unless ductus arteriosus remains open (and even then O2 poor from RV). Death if severe w/o surgery.

48
Q

What forms wrong in aberrant origin of right heart?
What disappears?
Symptoms?
Why?

A

subclavian formed by distal portion of right dorsal aorta and 7th intersegmental A instead of 7th intersegmental A and right AA IV
Right AA IV and right dorsal aorta disappear
symptoms: dysphagia and dyspnea
right dorsal aorta crosses esophagus to right UE

49
Q

What causes double aortic arch?

Symptoms?

A

vascular ring surrounding trachea and esophagus

symptoms: esophageal dysfunction and strangulation of trachea

50
Q

What causes right aortic arch?
symptoms?
What causes symptoms?

A

left AA IV and left dorsal aorta gone and replaced with right
symptoms: dysphagia and dyspnea if left subclavian A passes behind esophagus and ligamentum arteriosum passes in front of trachea

51
Q

What causes interrupted aortic arch?
What is this associated with?
Is it life threatening?

A

AA IV disappears and proximal part of right dorsal aorta disappears
ductus arteriosus remains open
low O2 in descending aorta and subclavian As
DiGeorge syndrome
yes
