Congenital Pulmonary Arterial Anomalies: Swinging Beyond the Sling.

Purpose or Case Report: Congenital and childhood findings of pulmonary artery anomalies are uncommon but not infrequently encountered by referral centers. We present by case examples anomalies of pulmonary arterial vasculature, and discuss their clinical presentation, associated cardiothoracic anomalies, and overall prognosis.
Methods & Materials: We did a retrospective data collection on the examples of the congenital pulmonary anamolies, other than the well known condition called 'Pulmonary Slings'.
Results: Some of the examples we encountered in our referral center for the congenital heart disease are-
1.Aberrant origin of the pulmonary artery from the aorta.
2. Origin of branch vessels from the aorta.
3. Congenital absence of the pulmonary artery
4. Pulmonary artery aneurysm
5. Arteriovenous malformations
6. Type I and II truncus arteriosus
7. Idiopathic pulmonary hypertension in the pediatric patient.
Conclusions: There is familiarity with pulmonary slings, but other less common anatomical variants of the pulmonary arteries are also important to recognize and understand. Prompt identification by the pediatric radiologist is essential in guiding medical or surgical management of the patient, and in some instances plays a key role in avoiding potential cardiopulmonary compromise.
