A rare association of the absence of left pulmonary artery with ventricular septal defect, pulmonary hypertension, and more interestingly, patent ductus arteriosus in an adult patient: Case report and literature review.

Key Clinical Message: In this study, we introduced one of the rarest concomitants of the absence of left pulmonary artery (LPA), which was seen in our patient along with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and ventricular septal defect (VSD).

Abstract: Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a congenital heart disease in association with other abnormalities such as tetralogy of Fallot and septal defects or isolated in 30% of cases and occurs in the right lung in two thirds of cases. Our case is a 33-year-old man who was hospitalized with symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, and hemoptysis.
