Coexistence of pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may lead to overestimating the relative importance of these malformations. This article reports on a patient with a trivial PDA and severe PA stenosis erroneously diagnosed as moderate PDA. He was successfully submitted to simultaneous PA stenting and PDA embolization.
