Surgical treatment of isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery with pulmonary hypertension.

A one-and-a-half-month-old patient with isolated unilateral absence of the right proximal pulmonary artery with prominent left pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed using CT. Medication therapy was initiated first. Left pulmonary artery pressure decreased after the initiation of medication therapy, and single-stage reconstruction of the right pulmonary artery was performed. The patient is asymptomatic 14 months postoperatively.
