Key result
Cardiac catheterization identifies distinct hemodynamic features in unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia.
Why the study?
Unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia can be diagnosed by routine clinical evaluation but requires confirmation with special studies.
Case Report (n=5)
Unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia can be suspected on routine clinical evaluation and definitively confirmed using cardiac catheterization and contrast imaging.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May aid recognition of unilateral pulmonary artery absence; leaves open validation against modern noninvasive imaging in larger cohorts.
The clinical entity of unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia can be readily diagnosed on the basis of routine clinical evaluation. This report is based upon 5 patients in whom the diagnosis was suspected and eventually confirmed with the aid of special studies. Characteristic hemodynamic findings were demonstrated by means of cardiac catheterization and contrast visualization of the cardiopulmonary system.

ELDER et al. (1958) conducted a case report in Unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia (n=5). Cardiac catheterization and contrast visualization was evaluated on Characteristic hemodynamic findings. Cardiac catheterization and contrast visualization demonstrated characteristic hemodynamic findings in 5 patients with unilateral pulmonary artery absence or hypoplasia.
