    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.

  • 5

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