dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Disconnected pulmonary arteries are unusual and may result in pulmonary hypertension with acute right heart failure. Case presentation: We report a case of a three-month-old Asian girl who presented with heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension due to a disconnected right pulmonary artery. An epoprostenol (prostacyclin) infusion was instrumental in lowering pulmonary artery pressures and stabilizing the child prior to surgery. Conclusions: This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of successful prostacyclin usage in such a situation.en_GB
