Abstract

Pulmonary hypoplasia is an entity of pulmonary agenesis. Pulmonary agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly, usually diagnosed soon after birth. It is commonly associated with other anomalies, mainly of the cardiovascular systems. Although it may hasten the death of a child, sometimes it is compatible with normal growth. We report a right lateral thoracotomy approach for mitral valve repair in a young woman with pulmonary hypoplasia, in whom preoperative computed tomography showed severe right side shifting of the mediastinum and total collapse of the right lung.
