Article Synopsis
- A rare condition involves the absence of one pulmonary artery alongside narrowing in the other, which was observed in a cat suffering from severe exercise intolerance and breathing difficulties.
- Transthoracic echocardiography and angiography confirmed the absence of the left pulmonary artery and highlighted stenosis in the right pulmonary branches.
- A palliative balloon angioplasty procedure effectively lowered pressure on the right ventricle and improved the cat's symptoms.
