Major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) are abnormal systemic to pulmonary collateral vessels originating from the persistent segmental arteries. The common conditions concomitant with MAPCA are congenital heart diseases with reduced pulmonary blood flow. Isolated MAPCAs represent occurrence of collaterals in the absence of underlying heart disease, which commonly present as heart failure, recurrent respiratory tract infection, and pulmonary artery hypertension. Here, we describe a case of West syndrome presenting with hemoptysis due to isolated MAPCAs and its causal relation and management.
主要的主肺动脉侧支动脉（MAPCAs）是起源于持续存在的节段性动脉的异常体循环至肺的侧支血管。与MAPCA相关的常见情况是肺血流量减少的先天性心脏病。孤立性MAPCAs是指在没有潜在心脏病的情况下出现侧支血管，通常表现为心力衰竭、反复呼吸道感染和肺动脉高压。在此，我们描述一例因孤立性MAPCAs导致咯血的韦斯特综合征病例及其因果关系和治疗方法。
