  • Title: Congenital agenesis of the right pulmonary artery.
    Author: Campbell KR, Krasuski R, Wang A, O'Laughlin MP, Harrison JK.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2000 Dec; 51(4):460-3. PubMed ID: 11108681.
    Abstract:
    A 44-year-old woman with recurrent pulmonary infections developed severe hemoptysis. Chest radiography revealed a hypoplastic right lung. Absence of the right pulmonary artery, a very rare congenital anomaly, was demonstrated by computed tomography and cardiac catheterization. Severe pulmonary hypertension in the contralateral lung precluded right pneumonectomy but percutaneous embolization of a large systemic arterial collateral to the right lung provided palliative relief of hemoptysis.
