Multi-detector computed tomography evaluation of tracheobronchial anomaly in pediatric patients with left pulmonary artery sling

The left pulmonary artery sling （LPAS） is a rare vascular anomaly causing respiratory distress in which theleft pulmonary artery arises from the posterior aspect of the right pulmonary artery, courses posteriorly to the right of the bronchus and passes between the trachea and oesophagus to reach the...

More Information
Summary:The left pulmonary artery sling （LPAS） is a rare vascular anomaly causing respiratory distress in which theleft pulmonary artery arises from the posterior aspect of the right pulmonary artery, courses posteriorly to the right of the bronchus and passes between the trachea and oesophagus to reach the hilum of the left lung. The LPAS is frequently associated with tracheobronchial tree anomalies and congenital cardiac defects. Proper assessment of the tracheobronchial and cardiovascular anomaly is essential in LPAS for planning management of the patient. Currently,
