title: Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiographic Detection and Differential Diagnosis of Isolated Right Pulmonary Artery Agenesis.
abstract: We present a case report of isolated right pulmonary artery agenesis detected by multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). A special emphasis is placed on its important role in the differential diagnosis and hemodynamic and functional evaluation of patients with unilateral pulmonary oligemia on chest radiograph. We also present a case report of pulmonary embolism with complete obstruction of the right pulmonary artery for better understanding and for comparison of TEE images in patients with pulmonary artery agenesis.
