ABSTRACT
Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery (UAPA) with or without other anomalies in the heart is a rare congenital malformation. A 55-year-old Filipino woman without a remarkable medical history was admitted to our hospital for hemoptysis. Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography revealed the absence of the left pulmonary artery. Echocardiography and right heart catheterization showed no cardiac malformations or pulmonary hypertension. We diagnosed her with isolated left-sided UAPA and performed transarterial embolization of the left inferior phrenic artery. This resolved the hemoptysis, and there was no recurrence during the four-year follow-up period.
