Abstract
We report a case of origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta. Pulmonary arteriography showed an opacification of the enlarged left pulmonary artery without filling of the right pulmonary artery. Pressure study showed that the pulmonary systolic pressure was almost equal to the systemic pressure. The present case is characterized as the longest-term survivor in the literature with aortic origin of right pulmonary artery without receiving surgical repair.
