Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When truncus comes, it's never alone
Six friends that tag along, make themselves known
VSD's the first, always there to stay
Subarterial hole, thirteen to fifteen millimeter way

[Verse 2]
Right aortic arch in thirty percent
Mirror image branching, the vessels are bent
Left brachiocephalic, right CCA too
Right subclavian artery, that's how they grew

[Chorus]
Six associations, remember them well
VSD and right arch, their stories to tell
Patent foramen, interrupted arch
Truncal valve problems, genetics to march
DiGeorge deletion, coronaries strange
Truncus arteriosus brings anatomic change

[Verse 3]
Patent foramen ovale, three millimeter wide
Left to right shunting, blood takes a ride
But interrupted aortic arch we might see
Ten to fifteen percent, check carefully

[Verse 4]
Truncal valve tricuspid, competent and clean
But abnormalities common, know what they mean
From stenosis to regurgitation's flow
Pre-op assessment, that's what we need to know

[Chorus]
Six associations, remember them well
VSD and right arch, their stories to tell
Patent foramen, interrupted arch
Truncal valve problems, genetics to march
DiGeorge deletion, coronaries strange
Truncus arteriosus brings anatomic change

[Bridge]
Twenty-two q eleven point two deletion
Thirty-five percent need our attention
Small thymus gland and hypocalcemia
Immune deficiency, palatal anemia

[Verse 5]
Coronary arteries anomalous grown
Surgical planning, their course must be known
Each association matters for the heart
Plan your repair right from the start

[Chorus]
Six associations, remember them well
VSD and right arch, their stories to tell
Patent foramen, interrupted arch
Truncal valve problems, genetics to march
DiGeorge deletion, coronaries strange
Truncus arteriosus brings anatomic change

[Outro]
Never alone, these six come to play
Learn each association, save the day
