Pulmonary Artery Fistula

Systemic artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula (SA-PAF) is a rare phenomenon that can resemble a filling defect on computed tomography angiography (CTA). SA-PAF can be due to congenital or acquired etiologies and can alter the hemodynamics of the pulmonary circulation, with the most serious reported complication being hemoptysis, requiring embolization. We describe a case of an unusual SA-PAF between the right inferior phrenic artery and the right lower lobe pulmonary artery that mimicked an unprovoked pulmonary embolus (PE) on standard CTA in a patient with cardiomyopathy. This SA-PAF was interpreted on CTA as PE due to the presence of a filling defect, revealing that not all filling defects are PE. SA-PAF should always be considered when the clinical context or the imaging findings are atypical, specifically with an isolated filling defect visualized in the inferior lower lobe pulmonary artery. The false-positive PE was the result of mixing of systemic non-opacified blood with opacified pulmonary arterial blood.

Introduction. Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery is a rare vascular malformation. Because of this anomaly, the lungs are supplied by the system of collateral arteries. Case outline. We present a case of the right pulmonary artery agenesis in a female patient. She was admitted to the hospital because of hemoptysis. A computed tomography scan revealed a congenital malformation ? the right lung was smaller in size, the right principal pulmonary artery had not been developed along with aberrant tortuous blood vessels. Conclusion. Symptomatic therapy was applied in the case of our patient. There was no need for any surgical treatment. However, in case of massive hemoptysis embolisation or lobectomy/ pneumonectomy will probably be applied.

AbstractIn this study, we describe a very rare case of anomalous left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery in association with coarctation of the aorta. A 3-month-old boy presented with refractory congestive heart failure since 20 days after birth. The initial echocardiography suggested the diagnosis of left coronary artery-to-right pulmonary artery fistula associated with coarctation; however, selective coronary angiography demonstrated the rare anomaly of the left coronary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery. Subsequently, he underwent successful transcatheter balloon angioplasty for aortic coarctation and surgical repair of left coronary artery re-implantation.

Background: Spinal instrumentation is commonly utilized to mechanically stabilize the spine in trauma, oncology and degenerative disease. Although several complications have been reported, this is the first case of screw penetration of the pulmonary artery. Methods: We present a case of a 74-year old gentleman who suffered from a thoracic spine chordoma. He underwent a T8 resection with T8-T12 instrumented fusion with subsequent radiation. Recurrence of his disease led to resection of his 3rd and 4th ribs and repeat radiation. He presented 6 years later with 2 episodes of massive hemoptysis. Review of the literature was conducted to search for similar complications. Results: A Chest Computed Tomography scan demonstrated the presence of a pedicle screw tip in the right pulmonary artery. Angiogram revealed no evidence of active arterial extravasation. In the operating room, the patient had a right lower lobectomy, with segmental pulmonary artery sacrifice, as well as replacement of the spinal fixation hardware. Literature review revealed multiple aortic injuries following spinal instrumentation. However, this was the first case of pulmonary artery erosion. Conclusions: Spinal instrumentation has been associated with screw migration and penetration of nearby tissues and vessels. A high incidence of suspicion is required when patients present with delayed and unusual complications.
