Abstract
CONGENITAL absence of a branch of the common pulmonary artery in a patient with apparently normal lungs is a rare anomaly. Only 9 cases were found on a review of the literature since 1850. The condition was recognized at post-mortem examination in 7 of these, and at operation in 2. The clinical diagnosis of this anomaly has not, to our knowledge, been described previously. The purpose of this paper is to present clinical and physiologic studies of a patient in whom congenital absence of the right branch of the pulmonary artery was diagnosed by angiocardiography.Fräntzel,1 in 1868, was apparently . . .Keywords
