Vascular Sling

Although rare, vascular sling-ring complexes together in the same patient may be encountered. Once clinical complaints compatible with vascular ring anomalies are described, it should be kept in mind that more than one anomaly may be associated. By this case, the diagnostic and therapeutic course of pulmonary sling (PS) and aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) in an infant with breathing and feeding difficulties was presented.

The authors report three cases of respiratory embarrassment in infants from compression of the right bronchus and trachea by a "vascular sling" formed by an aberrant left pulmonary artery coursing anterior to the right main-stem bronchus and posterior to the trachea. Five similar cases have been described in earlier literature. The embryologic origin of this anomaly appears to be a disturbed time-sequence in the growth and union of the left pulmonary artery and the left lung bud. The clinical symptoms are those of respiratory distress in the neonatal period produced by tracheobronchial compression, associated with obstructive emphysema of the right lung. Bronchoscopic examination reveals extrinsic pressure on the right bronchus and posterior wall of the trachea. The esophagram does not reveal any posterior indentation and is thereby helpful in distinguishing this entity from the more common "vascular ring" which is a systemic arterial malformation causing constriction of the trachea and esophagus. Early recognition of an anomalous left pulmonary artery is particularly important in view of the fact that the condition can be corrected surgically.

RESUMOIntrodução: Sling da artéria pulmonar, ou alça da artéria pulmonar é o nome que se dá a uma doença congênita, onde se forma um anel vascular incompleto que comprime estruturas importantes da região do mediastino. O quadro clínico pode ser desde assintomático podendo chegar ao óbito. Dos sintomáticos, mais da metade é diagnosticada logo nos primeiros meses de vida, porém nesses casos o quadro é geralmente leve e evolui de maneira lenta, porém progressiva. Estridor respiratório, tanto na inspiração quanto na expiração e cianose são sintomas comuns desses pacientes. Casuística: Esse projeto visa relatar um caso de Sling de artéria pulmonar, diagnosticado em um Hospital Escola do sul de Minas Gerais que se manifestou logo após o nascimento. Discussão: A criança em questão apresentou os sintomas clássicos da doença, porém devido sua raridade e variedade de diagnósticos diferenciais houve dificuldade em afirmar que se tratava de um Sling. Conclusão: Conclui-se que a doença foi diagnosticada e tratada a tempo e de maneira eficaz, embora fosse severa a gravidade do quadro apresentado pelo recém-nascido.Palavras-chave: Anel vascular, Sling de artéria pulmonar, Estridor respiratório. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Pulmonary artery sling or pulmonary artery handle is the name given to a congenital disease which forms an incomplete vascular ring that compresses important structures of the mediastinal region. The clinical picture may be from asymptomatic, experiencing mild cases turning to severe and even to death. More than half of symptomatic is diagnosed early in life, but in these cases the picture is generally mild and evolves slowly but progressively. Stridor, both in inspiration and in expiration and cyanosis are common symptoms of these patients. Case report: This project aims to report a case of pulmonary artery sling, diagnosed in a hospital school in southern Minas Gerais expressed just after birth. Discussion: The child presented classical symptoms of the disease, due to its rarity and another possible diagnosis was certain difficulty to be sure that it was a sling. Conclusion: The disease was diagnosed and treated on time and on the right way despite the severe gravity of the case presented by the newborn.Keywords: Vascular ring, Pulmonary artery sling, Stridor
