Abstract
- Unilateral absent pulmonary artery (UAPA) is rare and can occur in association with cardiovascular anomalies or in isolation. Herein, we describe a case of isolated UAPA in a 14-year-old male patient who presented with hemoptysis secondary to abnormal hypertrophy of collateral vasculature. The patient was successfully treated by endovascular embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles.
