ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY Numerous anatomic relationships of arteries could cause extrinsic compression of the trachea or bronchus. We report a rare left bronchial stenosis just caused by shorter inter-aortic distance. METHODS:
One patient wih recurrent coughing and wheezing was diagnosed as left emphysema.Cardiac computed tomography (CTA) shows a shorter distance between ascending aorta (AAo) and descending aorta (DAo) caused left bronchial stenosis with extrinsic compression of right pulmonary artery.RESULTS:
A translocation of the descending aorta was performed in this patient, and postoperative CTA showed that the DAo was translocated to the AAo and the left main bronchial stenosis was relieved.CONCLUSIONS:
Translocation of the DAo was necessary for the rare left bronchial stenosis caused by shorter inter-aortic distance and could bring a good outcome.Palabras clave
