Abstract
A neonate was seen with complete atelectasis of the left lung secondary to compression of the left main bronchus by a congenital aneurysmal main pulmonary artery. Operation consisted of pulmonary artery aneurysmectomy and ligation of an associated patent ductus arteriosus. Follow-up (3 years after operation) demonstrated complete resolution of the atelectasis and congestive heart failure.
