Summary: | Unilateral pulmonary artery aplasia is a rare anomaly. Case reports of this condition in pregnant patients are even more uncommon and the best approach to management of such patients is still unclear.

Management of the pulmonary artery aplasia patient in pregnancy requires prospective evaluation of pulmonary hypertension. |
