RESUMO
Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly that can lead to pulmonary hypertension and poor outcomes. We report the case of a 1-month-old infant with isolated unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery and severe pulmonary hypertension on the right and left sides, respectively. The patient was unresponsive to multiple medications for pulmonary hypertension, and surgical revascularisation was unfeasible. However, iloprost inhalation was effective.
