Systemic artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula (SAPAF) is an uncommon abnormal vascular connection between systemic and pulmonary arteries. SAPAF with 3 or more inflow vessels has rarely been reported. The definitive diagnosis is made by selective arterial angiography, but 3-dimensional computed tomography angiography is useful for delineating abnormal vessels. Embolization is currently performed as a less invasive treatment option, but surgical treatment remains an essential treatment option for preventing recurrence, especially in cases with many abnormal vessels. Herein, we report a case of successful treatment of SAPAF by sparing the lung parenchyma through abnormal inflow vessel dissection and peripheral lung abnormal tissue resection.
体动脉-肺动脉瘘(SAPAF)是一种体动脉与肺动脉之间罕见的异常血管连接。具有3条或更多流入血管的SAPAF鲜有报道。选择性动脉血管造影可作出明确诊断,但三维计算机断层扫描血管造影有助于描绘异常血管。目前栓塞作为一种侵入性较小的治疗选择,但手术治疗仍是预防复发的重要治疗选择,尤其是在有许多异常血管的病例中。在此,我们报告一例通过解剖异常流入血管并切除周围肺异常组织从而保留肺实质成功治疗SAPAF的病例。
