case_images: Aortic CTA reported AOLPA from the thoracic aorta (Figure 1).
case_images: Repair of anomalous origin of left pulmonary artery from descending aorta. A: The left pulmonary artery and the descending aorta are blocked. B: Separating the left pulmonary artery and repairing of the descending aortic incision with a bovine pericardial patch. C: The anastomosis between artificial blood vessel and left pulmonary artery. D: The anastomosis between artificial blood vessel and pulmonary artery trunk.

case_images: The left pulmonary artery and descending aorta were fully freed, the intercostal artery adjacent to the surrounding was ligated, and the left pulmonary artery, as well as the proximal and distal descending aorta, were blocked (Figure 2A). The distal end of the artificial blood vessel was ligated and then inserted into the pericardial cavity through the pericardial incision (Figure 2C).
case_images: Pulmonary artery CT six months after the operation show the left pulmonary artery is well visualized without any obvious stenosis, dilatation, or filling defect (white arrow). A: No stenosis at the origin of the left pulmonary artery. B: No filling defects in artificial blood vessels.
