It is important to distinguish between Fallot's pulmonary atresia and Type IV truncus arteriosus since Fallot's pulmonary atresia is an operable lesion, whereas persistent truncus arteriosus is considered inoperable. Angiocardiographically, this differentiation can be made as there is a right ventricular infundibular chamber with Fallot's pulmonary atresia, and complete absence of the infundibulum in Type IV truncus arteriosus.
