Pulmonary artery origin from ascending aorta – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/731364546

A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which one branch pulmonary artery originates from the ascending aorta and the other branch pulmonary artery from the pulmonary trunk (main pulmonary artery). Additional information: one pulmonary artery originates from the ascending aorta and the other pulmonary artery arises from the right ventricle. This does include origin of the right or left pulmonary artery from the brachiocephalic (innominate) artery or the aortic arch via a patent arterial duct or collateral artery.
