Abstract:
Şahin H, Pekçevik Y. Pulmonary artery sling anomaly presenting with unilateral lung hyperinflation: A case report. Turk J Pediatr 2018; 60: 194-197. Left pulmonary artery sling is a rare congenital pulmonary artery anomaly which presents with tracheal compression due to vascular ring formation. Rarely, patients may present with hyperinflation or collapse of a lung unilaterally.We present a one-month-old infant with dyspnea who had a hyperinflated left lung and collapsed right lung. Computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated pulmonary sling causing compression of proximal parts of right and left main bronchi. This case highlights the importance of three-dimensional CT angiography in evaluation of thoracic vascular anomalies associated with tracheobronchial pathologies.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors
Among the PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Revatio) stands out as a competitive and selective inhibitor. It operates by elevating cellular levels of cGMP and augmenting signaling through the cGMP-PKG pathway, promoting vasodilation. Upon oral...
