Abstract

Systemic arterial blood supply to a normal lung is a rare anatomical abnormality. Surgery is usually indicated because this abnormality leads to pulmonary hypertension. Herein, we report our experience and ideas for safe vessel dissection. Case 1 was a woman in her 50s. We performed a left lower lobectomy following percutaneous coil embolization. The aberrant artery with emboli was confirmed intraoperatively by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to safely dissect under thoracoscopic surgery (TS). Case 2 was a man in his 40s. Following percutaneous endovascular plug occlusion, we performed a left partial resection using indocyanine green fluorescence navigation. Intraoperatively, CBCT imaging demonstrated the aberrant artery and exact position of the emboli. This combination technique of interventional radiology and TS with CBCT imaging was considered safe and more secure for the treatment of anomalous systemic arterial blood supply to a normal lung.
