A Case of Pulmonary Artery Sling Misdiagnosed as Bronchial Asthma
Eun-Jung Cheon, Ki-Soo Kim, Jae-Woo Lim, Kyung-Ok Koh
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(10):1110-1113.   Published online October 15, 2004
Anomalous left pulmonary artery(pulmonary artery sling) is a congenital anomaly in which the vascular structure arises either from the posterior surface of the right pulmonary artery, or from the main pulmonary artery and courses to the left lung between the posterior surface of the trachea and the anterior surface of the esophagus. It may compress on the tracheobronchial tree causing...
A Case of Pulmonary Artery Sling Associated with Left Bronchial Stenosis and Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Woo Suk Juhng, Myung Hee Han, Chan Uhng Joo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(10):1417-1423.   Published online October 15, 1998
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare and potentially lethal vascular anomaly wherein the anomalous left pulmonary artery arises from the posterior aspect of the right pulmonary artery and passing to the left lung between the trachea and the esophagus which causes respiratory distress in infants and children due to the extrinsic compression of the airway by the anomalous vessel. Associated...
A Case of Pulmonary Artery Sling
Mi Hee Oh, Il Tae Whang, Ghee Young Jung, Doo Bong Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(11):1611-1615.   Published online November 15, 1997
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare vascular anomaly in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery and then traverses between the esophagus and the trachea toward the hilum of the left lung. Despite the availability of a corrective operation, the mortality rate remains very high due to the high incidence of associated obstructive anomalies of tracheobronchial trees. We experienced a...
Four Cases of Pulmonary Artery Sling with Bridging Bronchus
Seung A Lee, Jung Yeon Shim, Young Hwue Kim, Jae Kon Ko, In Sook Park, Soo-Jong Hong, Chang Yee Hong
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(5):709-715.   Published online May 15, 1997
Pulmonary artery sling with bridging bronchus is not only rare but also difficult to diagnose unless specially sought. When young infant suffers from prolonged or recurrent wheezing, possibility of underlying anomalies of the tracheobronchial trees or great vessels should be considered, even though bronchiolitis and gastroesophageal reflux are the most common causes. We experienced four cases of pulmonary artery sling with...
A Case of Pulmonary Artery Sling Associated with Tracheobroncheal Hypoplasia
Yong Han Sun, Ho Sung Kim, Jung Il Noh, Jung Yun Cho, Yong Soo Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1996;39(3):417-422.   Published online March 15, 1996
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare vascular anomaly wherein the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery and then traverses between the esophagus and the trachea toward the hilum of the left lung. Associated anomalies are common, particularly those of the tracheobronchial tree, which have been found in more than 50% of patients. Cardiovascular anomalies such as persistent...
Pulmonary Artery Sling with Situs Solitus Dextroposition of Heart and Left Superior Vena Cava
Sung-Ho Cha, Sung- Yong Jung, Pill-Jin Shin, Byong-Soo Cho, Chang-Il Ahn, Sun-Wha Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(2):257-261.   Published online February 15, 1994
Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly which presents clinical obstructive symptoms and signs of trachea, right main bronchus and esophagus due to left pulmonary artery abnormaly arises from proximal part of right pulmonary artery. Aberrant left pulmonary artery courses to the right above right main bronchus and then turns to the left, and courses to between the...
