Successful surgical correction of anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the aorta in an adult
Abstract
We report an adult patient with anomalous right pulmonary artery (RPA) from the ascending aorta with origin stenosis, a secundum type of atrial septal defect (ASD) with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in the left lung, and a protected right lung. Restoration of the continuity between the RPA and the left pulmonary arterial system was achieved without cardiopulmonary bypass.
