Pulmonary Sling

AbstractWe report three cases of an abnormal finding of duplicated left pulmonary artery: two of these occurring in children with Kabuki syndrome and configuring the setting of a pseudo-pulmonary sling without any clinical or cardiac cross-sectional evidence of tracheal compression. The other case instead represents duplicated left pulmonary artery with pulmonary sling caused by the retro-tracheal course of the lower left pulmonary artery associated with “Christmas Tree” arrangement of the tracheo-bronchial system.In both patients with pseudo-pulmonary sling and Kabuki syndrome, the abnormal finding was incidental during echocardiographic examination and neither of the patients required surgical repair for the condition. To the best of our knowledge, they represent the third and fourth cases in which such an anomaly of the pulmonary artery branches not forming a sling is seen in association with Kabuki syndrome. Another case represents our second experience and the second case reported in literature with duplicated left pulmonary artery in the setting of a complex tracheal anatomy. In this symptomatic patient, surgical repair of atrial septal defect and relief of the vascular ring were indicated, and the surgical repair was performed successfully at the age of 3 years.

Pulmonary Sling

AbstractPulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital vascular abnormality, where the left pulmonary artery originates from the right pulmonary artery, passes between trachea, and esophagus and reaching the left hilum. Cough, wheezing, and difficulty in feeding are three major symptoms. Untreated pulmonary sling carries high morbidity and mortality, most of which is due to the airway and other associated anomalies. Herein, we report a 40-day-old male infant who admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with progressive respiratory distress and diagnosed with left pulmonary sling with tracheal stenosis. We discuss the diagnosis and management of pulmonary artery sling and present the successful use of laryngeal mask in difficult airway management.

A 10-day-old boy was transferred to our hospital due to tachypnea. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 4.8 mm in diameter, with small ASD was diagnosed on echocardiography. Surgical ligation of the ductus was performed after failure of three cycles of ibuprofen. However, the ductus remained open on routine postoperative echocardiography on the second postoperative day, and chest CT revealed inadvertent ligation of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) rather than the PDA. Emergent operation successfully reopened the clipped LPA and ligated the ductus on the same (second postoperative) day.<br />Mechanical ventilator support was weaned on postoperative day 21, and the baby was discharged on postoperative day 47 with a normal left lung shadow.

AbstractDuctus arteriosus is an essential component of fetal circulation. Due to occurring changes in the cardiopulmonary system physiology after birth, ductus arteriosus closes. Patent ductus arteriosus can be closed by medical or invasive (percutaneous or surgical) treatment methods. Percutaneous or surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus can be performed for the cases that medical closure failed. Surgical treatment is often preferred method for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in the neonatal period. The most common surgical complications are pneumothorax, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, bleeding, and recanalisation. A very rare surgical complication is left pulmonary artery ligation that has been presented in a few cases in the literature. Echocardiography control should be performed in the early post-operative period, especially in patients with clinical suspicion. If reoperation is required, it should never be delayed. We report a newborn patient whose left pulmonary artery ligated accidentally during patent ductus arteriosus closure surgery and surgical correction of this complication at the early post-operative period.
