Abstract

Pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery forming a sling around the trachea. This causes tracheal compression with the resulting respiratory symptoms. Most cases are associated with cardiovascular and tracheobronchial abnormalities. Some cases present incidentally without respiratory symptoms in adolescents and adults. We report a case with double left aberrant pulmonary artery associated with multiorgan anomalies which was incidentally found.

폐동맥 슬링은 좌 폐동맥이 우 폐동맥으로부터 이상 기시하여 기관의 후방으로 주행하는 혈관기형으로 주로 기관협착에 의한 호흡기 증상을 일으키는 매우 드문 선천성 질환이다. 심혈관 기형이나 기관의 기형과 동반되는 경우가 많고, 드물게 호흡기 증상 없이 청소년기나 성인에서 우연히 발견되는 경우도 있다. 본 증례는 14세 환아에서 우연히 발견된 이중 폐동맥 슬링(double pulmonary artery sling)을 경험하고 수술 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
