Abstract
Pulmonary arterial sling is a relatively rare congenital anomaly in
which left pulmonary artery (LPA) branch originates abnormally from the
RPA, eventually resulting with respiratory symptoms, due to airway
obstruction. In this report, we present a PAS in a neonate who showed
progressive respiratory distress in the second week following delivery.
At 25 days of age, the patient underwent total surgical correction of
the anomaly, during which left pulmonary artery reimplantation to main
PA without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass was employed. Following an
uneventful recovery, the patient was discharged eight days after
surgery.
