Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a source of considerable mortality and morbidity. Anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery, an uncommon congenital cardiac malformation, is a rare cause of persistent pulmonary hypertension. Here, we report the case of a patient with an anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the innominate artery who presented with persistent pulmonary hypertension refractory to treatment.
