An Adult Case of Pulmonary Sling with Complete Tracheal Ring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulmonary sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery forming a sling around the trachea causing tracheal compression. Many cases are associated with cardiovascular and tracheo-bronchial anomalies. When combined with complete tracheal ring, it is called "ring-sling complex". The average onset of symptoms is 2 months and about half have symptoms from birth. The anomaly, if not corrected, can be fatal within the first year of life. In an adult, it is most often asymptomatic and usually found incidentally. We report an adult case who was diagnosed as pulmonary sling with complete tracheal ring by CT and bronchoscopy along with a literature review.

Unusual association of pulmonary artery sling with right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery.
We present an unusual case of vascular sling, tracheal stenosis by complete cartilaginous ring, and aberrant left subclavian artery with right aortic arch that underwent successful surgical repair for the sling. These abnormalities were suspected from unusual multiple indentations found on esophagogram. Complete preoperative diagnosis was established with chest computerized tomogram combined wi...
متن کاملPartial lung resection of supernumerary tracheal bronchus combined with pulmonary artery sling in an adult: report of a case.
An adult case of pulmonary resection for repeated infections in a supernumerary tracheal bronchus combined with a pulmonary artery sling is reported. A 33-year-old woman with a pulmonary artery sling was referred for recurrent lung infections. Chest computed tomography showed the left pulmonary artery arising from the right pulmonary artery and coursing posterior to the trachea. The lung parenc...
متن کاملPreoperative evaluation of the trachea in a child with pulmonary artery sling using 3-dimensional computed tomographic imaging and virtual bronchoscopy.
Pulmonary artery sling is frequently accompanied by tracheal anomalies other than local compression, including focal/segmental or extensive stenosis (ring-sling complex). Recent advances in computed tomography technology, such as multidetector computed tomography with 3-dimensional imaging (3-D) and virtual bronchoscopy (VB), offer important and accurate information of the entire tracheobronchi...
متن کاملManagement of pulmonary artery sling with tracheal stenosis: LPA re-implantation without tracheoplasty.
OBJECTIVES Pulmonary artery sling (PA sling) is frequently associated with tracheal and/or bronchial stenosis. Most PA sling patients receive left pulmonary artery (LPA) re-implantation and tracheoplasty under the cardiopulmonary bypass, but the postoperative complications of tracheoplasty remain a great challenge. In this study, we reviewed 14 PA sling children who received surgery in our hosp...
متن کاملComplicated Postoperative Course after Pulmonary Artery Sling Repair and Slide Tracheoplasty
Pulmonary artery sling (PAS) is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery (LPA) arises from the right pulmonary artery, and then passes between the trachea and the esophagus to reach the left lung, thereby forming a sling around the airway. It is often associated with intrinsic tracheal stenosis due to complete cartilaginous rings. Therapeutic management nowadays consists o...
