title: [Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the right lung with patent ductus arteriosus; report of a case].
abstract: A 38-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because she presented with an abnormal shadow on a chest radiograph. A through examination showed an aberrant artery arising from the abdominal aorta and supplying the right basal segment and patent ductus arteriosus(PDA).Moreover the sequestrated lung was not recognized. Based on these findings we diagnosed the patient with anomalous systemic arterial supply to the basal segment of the right lung with PDA. Her pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio was 1.10. Therefore we planned to treat the PDA someday afterwards. Right basal segmentectomy and transection of the aberrant artery by using only autosuturing device were performed. Five months later, three-dimensional computed tomography showed no aneurysm of the cut end of the abnormal vessel.
