title: Anomalous origin of the right pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta associated with patent ductus arteriosus: focusing on computed tomography findings.
abstract: Anomalous origin of one pulmonary artery from the ascending aorta (AOPA) is a rare congenital malformation. Fewer than 150 cases have been reported to date in the world, with 95 % of these documented during the first year of the patient's life. We encountered a rare case of AOPA associated with patent ductus arteriosus in a 41-year-old female, who had reached the most advanced age of any known, previously untreated AOPA patient. We herein present our findings for this patient on plain chest radiography, computed tomography, and perfusion scan.
