If these anomaly is unrecognized and treated the risk of pulmonary hypertension in the contralateral lung can be lethal for the patients.

Materials & Methods Description of two rare cases of absence of a unilateral pulmonary branch successfully treated in our institution. Results, Discusssiion and Conclusion The timely identification of these cases and the strategic planning of interventional and surgical hybrid sequential treatment of these rare cases is effective.
