Abstract
Surgery is the standard treatment for the extremely rare pathology of isolated anomalous systemic arterial supply to normal lung (ISSNL). We describe our experience with this anomaly in a 29-year-old male presenting with recurrent haemoptysis that was successfully treated with a combination of metallic coils and cyanoacrylate glue. In addition to contributing to the extremely limited data on endovascular therapeutic options in ISSNL, we also intend to raise the awareness among endovascular therapists of the need to be cautious ofand preserve the radiculomedullary/pial branches arising from an anomalous artery before embolising it.Entities:
