Partial anomalous left pulmonary artery with associated bronchial anomalies in a patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot

Abstract We present a 28 year old man with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot who underwent CT imaging prior to pulmonary valve replacement. CT demonstrated a partial anomalous LPA with associated bronchial anomalies and normal variant pulmonary venous drainage. The case demonstrates the utility of multis...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract We present a 28 year old man with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot who underwent CT imaging prior to pulmonary valve replacement. CT demonstrated a partial anomalous LPA with associated bronchial anomalies and normal variant pulmonary venous drainage. The case demonstrates the utility of multislice CT in delineating 3-dimensional vascular and bronchial anatomy in these complex anomalies.
