Rare Condition of Aberrant Arterial Supply to a Normal Lung: A Cases Series and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT

Herein, we describe an aberrant artery to a normal lung, focusing on its classification, embryological hypotheses, diagnostic methods, and treatment modalities. We present three cases of aberrant arterial supply to a normal lung in various age groups (51 years, 5 months, and 29 years). The cases presented symptoms ranging from hemoptysis to respiratory distress. Successful transarterial embolization was performed in the 5-month-old infant. In addition, we collected case reports published from 1962 to the present from the literature to compare the trends in management and variations in manifestations.
