摘要

Background

Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung is a rare congenital pulmonary vascular malformation, historically classified as a variant of intra-lobar pulmonary sequestration. The standard surgical approach has typically involved ligation of the anomalous artery in combination with lobectomy or segmentectomy.

Case description

We present three cases of anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segment of the lung, all successfully treated with thoracoscopic anomalous arterial ligation alone. In one case, indocyanine green was used to assess the blood supply, enhancing procedural safety.

Conclusion

Thoracoscopic ligation of the anomalous artery alone may be a safe and lung-preserving surgical option for patients with this rare anomaly. The use of indocyanine green can further improve the safety of the procedure.
