    A 40-year-old female presented with hemoptysis and was diagnosed with an anomalous systemic artery supplying the left lung's lower lateral segment.

  • 2

    CT angiography revealed an abnormal branch from the descending aorta supplying the affected lung segment, confirming the vascular malformation.

  • 3

    Endovascular coil embolization was successfully performed to occlude the abnormal artery, with no complications reported during or after the procedure.

  • 4

    Post-embolization imaging showed the distal vessel was no longer visible, and the exudative lesion in the left lower lobe significantly absorbed.

    This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare congenital vascular malformations to prevent misdiagnosis and improve patient outcomes.
