The study aim was to define the clinical manifestations and long-term outcome of pediatric patients living at altitude with isolated pulmonary artery of ductal origin. This was a retrospective cohort study of 17 consecutive cases of isolated pulmonary artery of ductal origin at a single center. All patients lived at modest altitude (median, range; 2050 m, 1700–3050 m). Fifteen children (88%) were symptomatic at presentation. High altitude pulmonary edema was present in 2 patients (12%) at diagnosis and only 1 patient had episodes of hemoptysis during follow-up. Fourteen patients (82%) demonstrated evidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Among 14 patients with PAH, 11 patients had surgical interventions. PAH resolved in 5 of 11 patients (45%) undergoing surgical rehabilitation. One patient died during follow-up and 7 patients are receiving oral vasodilator therapies due to residual PAH; 14 patients remained asymptomatic. Our study showed that early intervention in patients with isolated pulmonary artery of ductal origin at modest altitude can potentially rehabilitate the isolated pulmonary artery and reverse the PAH. Whether surgery is indicated for patients with this disorder in the absence of PAH is unknown.
