Transcatheter arterial embolization of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the lung

چکیده
We describe the case of a 67-year-old woman with an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the lung, which was managed successfully by transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with microcoils. Her chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse ground-glass opacity in the left lower lobe, no bronchial abnormalities, and blood supply from an anomalous artery originating from the descending thoracic aorta, with drainage to the normal pulmonary vein. We successfully performed TAE under balloon occlusion of the anomalous artery, without complications. TAE is a minimally invasive, safe, and valuable method, and could be used as first-line treatment in such cases.

Successful endovascular coil embolization in an elder and asymptomatic case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segment
INTRODUCTION An anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segment without sequestration is a rare congenital vascular malformation. The discovery age is relatively young, and the most common clinical symptom is hemoptysis due to pulmonary hypertension or heart failure. We herein describe a case of endovascular embolization of in an elderly and asymptomatic patient with an anomalous...

BACKGROUND Scimitar syndrome can present with a wide clinical spectrum of symptoms either early in the neonatal period or later in life.

Bronchoscopy revealed normal major bronchial branches without bronchial atresia, ind...
متن کاملAnomalous Arterial Supply to Normal Basal Segment of the Right Lower Lobe: Endovascular Treatment with the Amplatzer Vascular Plug
Pulmonary systemic arterialization to normal basal lung without sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly. In this rare abnormality, arterialization of the left lower lobe is the most common type. In general, surgical treatments have been performed. Recently, for reducing the complications and risks of surgery, embolization is mainly attempted by using coils. We report a case of 22-year-old ma...

Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe is a rare congenital anomaly. Although most cases are asymptomatic, treatment is recommended for all patients with or without symptoms because of their potential risk for hemoptysis due to pulmonary hypertension and heart failure due to systemic arteryto-pulmonary vein shunt. There are several surgical proced...

A 35-year-old man was admitted with recurrent hemop-tysis. Preoperative image studies revealed large aneurysmal dilatation of an anomalous systemic artery arising from the descending thoracic aorta entering the basal segment of the left lung (Figs. 1 and 2). An uneventful lobectomy was performed. Specimen examination showed no evidence of a pulmonary sequestration. Fig. 1. (A and B) Chest X-ray...
