Abstract
As the pediatric patient with right pulmonary artery agenesis (PAA) matured, she progressively presented symptoms of pulmonary hypertension and hemoptysis. There is limited clinical literature on this condition, and currently, there is no consensus regarding its diagnosis and treatment. This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old female patient with right pulmonary artery hypoplasia, providing a comprehensive summary and analysis of her developmental progression, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment.
