Abstract
Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) can be either isolated or associated with other congenital cardiac defects. It is a rare congenital lesion with a diverse clinical presentation. We present a case of absent right pulmonary artery and large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with severe unilateral pulmonary hypertension. We describe our strategy of staged ductus arteriosus closure in this patient and successful outcome on long term follow up.
