Abstract The condition of partial anomalous origin of a branch pulmonary artery from the descending aorta could be found in several diseases and should be carefully differentiated. We report an unusual case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to normal basal segments of the left lower lung and another case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration. These two cases were treated successfully by transarterial embolisation using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug. We also set up a diagnostic algorithm to differentiate these diseases from anomalous systemic arterial supply to the pulmonary region. It is possible to make the correct diagnosis using the step-by-step diagnostic algorithm and careful interpretation of chest computed tomography angiography.

AbstractIn a girl suffering from “Scimitar syndrome”, a rerouting of the scimitar vein was performed at the age of 6 years, but no embolisation of the aberrant systemic vessel was done. She presented with recurring respiratory problems 13 years later. An angiography revealed an invert flow from the aberrant systemic vessel via the right pulmonary artery into the left pulmonary artery. After pneumonectomy, she recovered well.

Anomalous origin of a branch pulmonary artery (PA) from the ascending aorta is rather rare within the spectrum of congenital cardiovascular anomalies. In the scarce subset of patients with anomalous origin of right PA (RPA) from the ascending aorta originating from the lateral aspect of the distal ascending aorta, early neonatal repair by employing native aortic tissue for RPA reconstruction combined with translocation of the aorta posteriorly to the RPA can be an alternative option in the surgical armamentarium.

Abstract Extensive screening in a newborn with prenatal suspicion of VACTERL syndrome identified an anomalous origin of the left pulmonary artery from the descending aorta with an arterial duct and left aortic arch, and normal intra-cardiac anatomy. Other anatomical anomalies suggested heterotaxy syndrome. At one-month-old, re-implantation of the 3.5 mm left pulmonary artery was performed by direct tension-low anastomosis. Post-operative course was complicated by severe left pulmonary atelectasis, and the patient died 20 days later.
