Objective:

To report a case of abnormal systemic arterial supply to the lower lateral segment of the left lung and demonstrate successful endovascular treatment, highlighting its clinical significance.

Key Findings:
  • The patient had an abnormal systemic artery originating from the descending aorta supplying the left lung's lower lateral segment.
  • Successful embolization of the abnormal artery was achieved without complications.
  • Follow-up CT scan showed significant absorption of the exudative lesion and proper coil placement.
Interpretation:

This case highlights the importance of recognizing and treating anomalous systemic arterial supply to prevent complications such as hemoptysis, potentially influencing future clinical practices.

Limitations:
  • This is a single case study, limiting generalizability and potential biases.
  • Long-term outcomes of the embolization procedure were not assessed beyond two months, which may affect the understanding of its efficacy.
Conclusion:

Endovascular coil embolization is a safe and effective treatment for anomalous systemic arterial supply to the lung, with promising short-term results.
