Abstract

A 33-year-old man was investigated for dyspnea on exertion and the presence of a pansystolic murmur. Physical examination revealed dextrocardia confirmed by chest radiograph, which also showed oligemic right lung field. Subsequent cardiac catheterization revealed secundum atrial septal defect, persistent left sided superior vena cava, and severe mitral valve prolapse causing severe mitral regurgitation with pulmonary hypertension. The right pulmonary artery was absent. It is the first report of the association between severe mitral valve prolapse and absent right pulmonary artery.
