An adult case with absence of left pulmonary artery and partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection: Case report and literature review

Abstract

Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery is a rare congenital disorder that can remain asymptomatic until adulthood. Absence of left pulmonary artery (ALPA) has been reported in one-third of these patients. We are the first to introduce an adult case of ALPA associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Keywords: left pulmonary artery; partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC); unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA).
