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.

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.

Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Abstract This is a case of a woman with massive hemoptysis, associated with a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm, and a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and bronchus intermedius. Bronchoscopic evaluation revealed an endobronchial mass in the right bronchus intermedius, suspicious for a tumor. Upon biopsy of the mass, massive bleeding occurred. The right lung was surgically resected. No specific etiology for the fistula was identified on pathologic examination. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a pulmonary artery-bronchial fistula presenting without typically known predisposing factors.

Tomographic Angiography

We describe the diagnosis and surgical repair of a five-month-old infant with a congenital discontinuous right pulmonary artery. Initial echocardiogram failed to show the right pulmonary artery and revealed systemic left pulmonary artery pressure based on the tricuspid regurgitation jet. Computed tomographic angiography confirmed the diagnosis of discontinuous right pulmonary artery. The right pulmonary artery appeared essentially normal in size, and there were no significant aortopulmonary collateral arteries. Using cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic transection, we created an anastomosis between the right and the main pulmonary arteries augmented anteriorly by a pericardial patch. Postoperative lung perfusion scan demonstrated balanced pulmonary blood flow to the lungs. Pulmonary hypertension resolved over three weeks in the postoperative period, an expected outcome in this age-group.

Tract Infections

Aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital heart disease that can increase pulmonary vascular resistance, exacerbate left-to-right shunt and lead to heart failure and respiratory tract infections. Most patients die during childhood. We report a 53-year-old male patient with a large aortopulmonary window combined with anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the aorta, with Eisenmenger syndrome and without surgery.
