TI  - rare association of left pulmonary artery sling with Scimitar syndrome:
Recurrent wheezing and respiratory distress in a pediatric patient
AB  - Congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels may
lead to localized recurrent pulmonary infections through
different mechanisms. Pulmonary artery sling (left pulmonary
artery originating from the right pulmonary artery) and
Scimitar syndrome are rare causes of wheezing in infants.
An 18-month-old female infant with left pulmonary artery
sling, Scimitar syndrome, and an anomalous connection of left
pulmonary veins to the left atrium was admitted to our clinic.
She successfully underwent transcatheter embolization using the
Vascular Plug-II on the anomalous systemic arterial supply and
repair of pulmonary arterial sling and Scimitar anomaly via a
median sternotomy. In conclusion, diagnosis of left pulmonary
arterial sling accompanied by abnormalities can be missed in
some cases using echocardiography. It may be necessary to
conduct more advanced imaging methods before deciding the
treatment method to be performed in these patients.
