Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Early intervention in patients with congenitally disconnected pulmonary artery improves long-term outcome.
CASE PRESENTATION
We present 3 cases of isolated disconnected pulmonary artery in the absence of associated structural heart disease during a period of 3 years.
CONCLUSION
Transcatheter stenting of the feeding ductus arteriosus re-established pulmonary artery flow and growth. Successful surgical repair was achieved, and normal perfusion and complete function of the ipsilateral lung were regained.
