Unilateral agenesis of the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, which commonly involves the right side. Cases are associated with systemic collaterals, that may also arise from the coronary arteries. Case presentation: Two adult patients are presented with exertional dyspnea. Investigations revealed a right pulmonary artery agenesis associated with collaterals from right coronary artery.

More DescriptionUnilateral agenesis of the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, which commonly involves the right side. Cases are associated with systemic collaterals, that may also arise from the coronary arteries. Case presentation: Two adult patients are presented with exertional dyspnea. Investigations revealed a right pulmonary artery agenesis associated with collaterals from right coronary artery. The implication of such an anomaly was different among both patients due to associated systemic collaterals and congenital heart lesions. Both patients were treated medically to control pulmonary artery pressure. Proceeds from the sale of this book go to support an elderly disabled person.
