Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When truncus shows its twisted face
The surgeon maps each vessel's place
Type Two aberrant, silent snake
No blockage forms, no pressure breaks
But hidden dangers lurk beneath
In branching patterns, complex wreath

[Chorus]
Map before you cut, map before you slice
Aberrant arteries don't play nice
Sternotomy planning, cannulation's key
Conduit placement strategy
Silent but crucial, find every thread
Or face disaster in the surgical bed

[Verse 2]
The catheter seeks its destined port
But aberrant vessels cut it short
Vascular access becomes a maze
When branches twist in cryptic ways
Each future intervention needs
A roadmap of these vascular deeds

[Chorus]
Map before you cut, map before you slice
Aberrant arteries don't play nice
Sternotomy planning, cannulation's key
Conduit placement strategy
Silent but crucial, find every thread
Or face disaster in the surgical bed

[Bridge]
Rarely the vessels form a ring
Around the airway, choking string
Esophagus trapped in vascular coils
When anatomy's blueprint spoils
Compression symptoms break the peace
Demand immediate release

[Verse 3]
Hemodynamic silence masks
The complexity of surgical tasks
Each conduit must navigate
Around these vessels' twisted fate
Documentation saves the day
For surgeons walking this ballet

[Chorus]
Map before you cut, map before you slice
Aberrant arteries don't play nice
Sternotomy planning, cannulation's key
Conduit placement strategy
Silent but crucial, find every thread
Or face disaster in the surgical bed

[Outro]
Type Two truncus, deceptive friend
Your secrets matter in the end
Benign today but critical tomorrow
Plan ahead to prevent the sorrow
