Abstract
We report 2 cases of right pulmonary aplasia with left pulmonary artery sling responsible for severe respiratory symptoms. Repositioning of the left pulmonary artery without tracheal surgery was successful in both patients. The postoperative course was simple, and the outcome was favorable at last follow-up (after 2 years and 3 months, respectively). Computed tomography provided an accurate diagnostic evaluation that helped to choose the best surgical technique.
