Left Lower Lobectomy for Lung Cancer Complicated by Unilateral Absence of the Left Pulmonary Artery: A Case Report
Management of asymptomatic adult UAPA complicated by ipsilateral lung cancer requires careful, case-specific surgical planning. Lobectomy was selected to reduce pneumonectomy-related risks. Implementing preventive measures-such as a pedicled muscle flap or pericardial fat pad for bronchial stump coverage-is advisable to reduce ischemic risk in such cases.
