title: [A case of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal lung with lateral chest pain and palpitation followed by left basal segmentectomy].
abstract: A 38-year-old man was admitted because of left lateral chest pain and palpitation. A further examination revealed anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal lung. As pulmonary arteriography showed a complete lack of pulmonary arterial supply to these segments, we performed a ligation of the aberrant artery and left basal segmentectomy. Eight months after surgery, a lung perfusion scan showed improved uptake in the apical segment of the lower lobe.
