Anomalous Pulmonary Arteries and Cystic Disease of the Lung

Bronchial and Arterial Anomalies with Drainage of the Right Lung into the Inferior Vena Cava

“…[28][29][30] In all 3 instances, however, the anomalous portions of the bronchial tree are not supplied by these aortic branches, but rather apparently normal segments or subsegments. In fact, the present instances supply additional evidence that anomalously developed arteries from the aorta need not result in "sequestration" neither from pressure upon the bronchi nor by any phenomenon of traction, but that they can represent an orderly substitution from the dorsal aorta for vessels normally derived in continuity with the more proximal sixth aortic arch.…”

Lungs

“…Intralobar sequestration is previously termed "bronchogenic cyst with aberrant blood supply" (Tosatti and Gravel 1951;Wyman and Eyler 1952;Bressler and Wiener 1954;Mannix and Haight 1955). In most cases, the sequestrated portion is located in the posterobasal segment of the lower lobe ( Fig.…”

Cardio-respiratory Studies in a Patient with an Absent Left Pulmonary Artery

“…Congenital absence of a main pulmonary artery to one lung is a well-documented anomaly (Fraentzel, 1868;Miller, 1937;Blalock, 1948;Findlay and Maier, 1951;Madoff, Gaensler, and Strieder, 1952) and its association with unilateral cystic lung disease was emphasized in particular by Mannix and Haight (1955) and by Steinberg (1958). According to Madoff and others, a preponderance of congenital cardiac defects is apparent in patients with an absence of the left pulmonary artery.…”
