Core Tip

Core Tip: Abnormal systemic artery to the left lower lobe is a rare congenital vascular malformation. Experience in diagnosis and treatment remains limited. Here we presented the clinical presentation, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, surgical procedure and follow-up result of an abnormal systemic artery to the left lower lobe case. We discussed the difference between abnormal systemic artery to the left lower lobe and pulmonary sequestration and different treatment strategies. This case report adds to the clinical experience with regard to the diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease.
