Abstract In neonates and infants, the trachea and main bronchus may be compressed by adjacent cardiovascular structures. Compression of the main bronchi by the patent ductus arteriosus is rare and causes a variety of respiratory problems. Surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus that compresses the main bronchus as soon as possible is an effective treatment option. Rapid clinical recovery is expected after surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. We present a case of patent ductus arteriosus which caused obstruction of the left main bronchus.

Abstract Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect is a complex congenital cardiac anomaly. The blood is supplied to the lungs through a patent ductus arteriosus, a major aortopulmonary collateral artery, or in very rare cases from a coronary artery–pulmonary artery fistula. We present two cases with coronary artery–pulmonary artery fistula which underwent surgical intervention. In our first patient, the main pulmonary artery was supplied from the left main coronary artery. In the second patient, the right pulmonary artery originated from the left main coronary artery and continued to the right lung posteriorly to the aorta, while the left pulmonary artery originated from the patent ductus arteriosus. The difference in our cases is that the coronary artery pulmonary artery fistulas behave like major aortopulmonary collateral arteries originating from the coronary arteries. These fistulas were the main source of pulmonary blood flow.
