Abstract
|
|
|
|
To avoid vessel injury during minimally invasive surgery of the lung, exact knowledge of the pulmonary vasculature is important to surgeon. In this report, we present the case of unusual anatomical variant of the left posterior basal segmental pulmonary artery, arising from the left main pulmonary artery. This anomaly is rare but easily overlooked during interpretation of CT scans, potentially resulting in serious vessel injury during minimally invasive surgery.
