Abnormal origin of right or left pulmonary artery from the aorta is a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary artery arises from the aorta instead of the pulmonary trunk. This defect can cause a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain. Treatment typically involves corrective surgery.

The symptoms of an abnormal origin of the right or left pulmonary artery from the aorta can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, and a bluish tint to the skin due to lack of oxygen. In more severe cases, the patient may experience heart failure, arrhythmias, and even sudden death.

The causes of an abnormal origin of the right or left pulmonary artery from the aorta can vary, but the most common cause is a congenital heart defect known as tetralogy of Fallot. Other causes can include pulmonary atresia, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus, and pulmonary stenosis.

1. Surgery: Depending on the severity of the abnormality, surgery may be recommended to correct the origin of the pulmonary artery from the aorta. This may involve reconstructing the pulmonary artery and/or aorta, or connecting the pulmonary artery to the aorta in a different way.

2. Medication: Medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms associated with the abnormality, such as high blood pressure or difficulty breathing.

3. Monitoring: Regular monitoring of the patient's condition is important to ensure that the abnormality is not causing any further complications. This may involve regular check-ups with a cardiologist or other specialist.
