Pneumonectomy for Unilateral Proximal Interruption of Pulmonary Artery: A Case Series from the Literature.

Pneumonectomy achieves complete resolution of UPIPA symptoms. In the adult population, its primary indication is hemoptysis, with procedures conducted in both elective and urgent/emergent settings. Despite a mortality rate of zero, a notable proportion of patients may experience postoperative complications. In pediatric cases, the clinical presentation varies more extensively, and pneumonectomy is typically reserved for life-threatening situations, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection.
