We present the case of a 4-year-old girl, bronchofiberscopy (scope diameter 2.8mm): one third below oftrachea, which was divided into two orifices. The orifice on the right side was larger and divided into twosuborifices. The left orifice was stenosis and could not pass the bronchoscope. Whole trachea mucosa was redand edema, and could not observe the cartilage ring of trachea. Chest X-ray: infiltration of right lower lobe.Chest CT multiple probes with contrast injection confirmed that: At the sixth to seventh thoracic vertebral level,the left pulmonary artery was arisen from the right pulmonary artery then passed in between the behindtrachea and anterior oesophagus to reach the left lung hilar. And at the fourth to fifth thoracic vertebral level,the right upper bronchus was arisen from trachea and then the trachea was shrunk diameter to reach the leftlung hilar, at the end, the trachea divided 2 bronchi: left main bronchus and “bridging bronchus”. Thatbronchus from left lung hilar returned to the right lung.This patient was diagnosed birth defect: Left pulmonary artery sling with trachea stenosis, type IIA.

We report a case of a partial anomalous left pulmonary artery sling in an adult patient as an incidental finding on computed tomography. There is a normal bifurcation of the pulmonary trunk into right and left pulmonary arteries with anomalous origin of the left upper lobe pulmonary artery from the right pulmonary artery. The anomalous vessel passes between the trachea and esophagus forming a partial left pulmonary artery sling without airway compression.

Pulmonary Artery Sling (PAS) is a rare congenital heart disease due to abnormal origin of Left Pulmonary Artery (LPA) from the Right Pulmonary Artery (RPA), then encircling the distal part of the trachea. The treatment is a surgical repair consisting of reimplantation of the LPA on the main pulmonary artery over cardiopulmonary bypass. The authors report a clinical case of PAS in a 5.5 years old boy diagnosed in Senegal then successfully operated in France.Cardiovasc. j. 2017; 10(1): 94-96

Abstract Bridging bronchi are the rarest of the major airway anomalies reported in the literature. In this brief report, we present a case of a symptomatic adult male patient presenting with a type 2 bridging bronchus associated with left pulmonary artery sling.

Pulmonary arterial sling (PAS) is a relatively rare congenital anomaly in which left pulmonary artery branch originates abnormally from the right pulmonary artery, eventually resulting with respiratory symptoms, due to airway obstruction. In this report, we present a PAS in a neonate who showed progressive respiratory distress in the second week following delivery. At 25 days of age, the patient underwent total surgical correction of the anomaly, during which left pulmonary artery reimplantation to main pulmonary artery without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass was employed. Following an uneventful recovery, the patient was discharged eighteen days after surgery.

A baby presented at term with respiratory distress was managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Bronchoscopy revealed tracheal hypoplasia, complete tracheal rings, and agenesis of the right main bronchus. Echocardiography showed a left pulmonary arterial sling arising from the proximal part of the right pulmonary artery. Cardiac catheterization demonstrated abnormal pulmonary vasculature in the left lung which would have prevented survival, even after surgical repair. Diagnostic catheterization was important in delineating the anatomy, and aided in the decision not to proceed with surgical repair.
