High-altitude pulmonary edema with absent right pulmonary artery

Billy Rios, David J. Driscoll, Dan G. McNamaraTexas Children’s Hospital and Baylor Cllege of Medicine.United States PediatricsPediatrics 1985; 75: 314-317DOI: https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.75.2.314 AbstractHigh-altitude pulmonary edema potentially is fatal. Adults with unilateral absence of a right pulmonary artery are particularly susceptible to high-altitude pulmonary edema. The occurrence of high-altitude pulmonary edema was documented in a child with […]
