Case Report: Quantitative multimodal imaging for surgical planning in isolated pulmonary artery sling
This case of isolated PAS underscores the indispensable role of a multimodal imaging strategy. While echocardiography can provide initial clues, quantitative CTA is paramount for definitive anatomical classification, precise stenosis quantification, and comprehensive preoperative planning. Early consideration of PAS in children presenting with refractory respiratory symptoms, coupled with advanced imaging, can prevent misdiagnosis and optimize outcomes.
