Distal ductal origin of the right pulmonary artery: prospective diagnosis and primary repair in infancy

Int J Cardiol. 1992 May;35(2):272-4. doi: 10.1016/0167-5273(92)90190-e.

Abstract

Absence of the proximal segment of the right pulmonary artery was diagnosed by echocardiography in two neonates. In both a right-sided duct communicated with the right pulmonary artery at the hilum of the lung. Successful surgical repair was undertaken at seven months and 10 weeks, respectively
