Özet

Unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital defect requiring advanced imaging for diagnosis. We present two cases with a connection between a patent ductus arteriosus remnant and the left pulmonary artery. Therapeutic approaches, including imaging findings and management strategies, are discussed to highlight diagnostic and treatment considerations.
