Pulmonary Artery Sling is a rare variety of vascular compression. With Pulmonary Artery Sling (also known as an aberrant left pulmonary artery) the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery and passes between the trachea and esophagus to reach the left lung. Though Pulmonary Artery Sling does not impede blood flow through the heart it is often associated with severe tracheobronchial anomalies.
