Ductal origin of the pulmonary artery is a rare cardiovascular anomaly; it is often
mislabeled as absent pulmonary artery or pulmonary artery agenesis resulting in delayed
interventions. We present a case of ductal origin of the right pulmonary artery highlighting
the need for early detection and prompt intervention to reestablish perfusion to the
lung. This approach allows for continued lung development and reduces the morbidity
related to single lung physiology. The aim of this article is to describe a refinement
in the operative technique used in the reconstruction of the ductal origin of the
right pulmonary artery via creation of an interposition homograft roll for centralization.
