Isolated partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is an uncommon congenital heart anomaly that is sporadically associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension in the adult population. The diagnosis and therapy for this condition are challenging. We report on three cases of patients with unexpected severe precapillary pulmonary hypertension in single PAPVC treated with an upfront pulmonary arterial hypertension-specific combination therapy. Our cases indicate that the combination of PAPVC and pulmonary comorbidities may trigger the development of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. The initiation of pulmonary arterial hypertension-targeted combination therapy revealed to be a safe and efficacious strategy for patients with PAPVC-associated severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.
