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.

Keywords: Cardiac catheterization; Pulmonary artery; Surgery.
