“…The most common site of origin of ectopic BAs was the aortic arch, followed by the left subclavian artery, which is consistent with previous studies. [ 11 , 15 ] Also in agreement with previous studies, [ 21 , 22 ] a relatively rare ectopic origin of the ascending aorta and left common carotid artery were observed. Previously reported rare ectopic origins of the left gastric artery [ 23 ] and vertebral artery [ 24 ] were not found in present study.…”

To identify and evaluate the spectrum and prevalence of variations in bronchial artery (BA) origin by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in a large population with hemoptysis. From July 2008 to June 2015, data from 600 individuals with hemoptysis who underwent MDCT and DSA were retrospectively analyzed. The pattern of BA origin was investigated and classified according to distribution. A total of 1674 BAs were evaluated, 866 were right BA and 808 were left BA. Most BAs originated from the upper descending thoracic aorta, classified as orthotopic origin (n = 1464, 87.5%). Among ectopic origin BAs (n = 210, 12.5%), concavity of the aortic arch was the most common (n = 107). The most common distribution pattern was a single artery in each side (n = 262). According to our classification, Type I was most common (n = 457), including BAs originating in orthotopic fashion from the descending thoracic aorta. Type II (n = 2) was defined as BAs originating from the aortic arch or ascending aorta. Type III (not found) was defined as BAs originating from subclavian arteries, common carotid arteries, and their branch vessels. Type IV (n = 92) was Type I and II combined, Type V (n = 41) was Type I and III combined, Type VI (not found) was Type II and III combined, and Type VII (n = 8) was Type I, II, and III combined. Variations of BA origin could be systematically described in detail.

“…Similarly, another 17.14% of study cohort had group 1 type (1 right ICBT, 2 left bronchial artery) branching pattern. However, the most common branching pattern observed in this study was 2 right bronchial arteries and 1 left bronchial arteries (25.71%), which though not a part of the Cauldwell et al classification, and not 1 right ICBT and 1 left bronchial artery as reported by previous studies [27][28][29][30] . The present study found that the right bronchial arteries were higher in number (51%) when compared to the left bronchial arteries (49%).…”

Haemoptysis is one of the deadliest symptoms of respiratory illness. Identifying the etiology and source of haemoptysis plays a crucial role in early diagnosis and planning for appropriate management. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of MDCT angiography in identifying the site, cause and source of haemoptysis along with determining the normal variants of bronchial arteries. A prospective study was performed on 50 patients with complaints of haemoptysis for a period of 18 months. MDCT angiography was performed to interpret site and source of bleed. Tuberculosis (44%) was the most common underlying cause of haemoptysis in a cohort of 50 patients. In most patients, bronchial artery was adjudged to the source of haemoptysis (72%), followed by the pulmonary artery. Non bronchial systemic arteries contributed to haemoptysis in 12% of patients. A total of 145 bronchial arteries were detected, out of which 75 were right bronchial arteries (51%) and 71 left bronchial arteries (49%). The combination of 2 right bronchial arteries and 1 left bronchial artery was the most common (18%) branching pattern in this study. MDCT angiography is a robust diagnostic tool that permits visualisation of pulmonary vasculature involved in haemoptysis, thereby effectuating suitable treatment in time, and possibly reduce associated mortality rates.

“…In addition, three ectopic bronchial arteries, including one right BA and two left BAs originating from the aortic arch, were discovered (Figure 6). Previous studies 24 have shown that ectopic bronchial arteries originate from the subclavian artery, internal thoracic artery, pericardial phrenic artery and even the coronary artery, which may be due to the small sample size in this study group. In our study, we observed that the opening position of the BA on aorta was more common in the anterior and right walls, a similar finding to previous reports.…”

Background: The purpose of this prospective study was to explore the influence of both preoperative three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and intraoperative preservation of the bronchial artery (BA) on postoperative cough after thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods: A total of 60 patients who had received a combination of thoracoscopic lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection were included in this study. They were divided into two groups, namely the BA preservation group (Group A), and conventional surgical treatment group (Group B). In group A, we used Exoview software for 3D reconstruction of the BA before the operation and the BA was preserved during the operation. 3D reconstruction of the BA was not performed before surgery in group B. The incidence of postoperative cough, the Mandarin Chinese version of the Leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ-MC), physiological, psychological and social dimensions and total score of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: The scores and total scores of LCQ-MC in group B were lower than those in group A one and two months after surgery. There were significant differences between the two groups in physiological and psychological dimensions and total scores (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in social dimension between the two groups (p > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative cough in group A (16.7%) was lower than that in group B (30%), while the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.222). Conclusions: Preoperative 3D reconstruction and intraoperative preservation of the BA can reduce the severity of postoperative cough.
