The patient was admitted for \u201cdepressed mood.\u201d And she experienced intermittent chest tightness and mild shortness of breath after physical activity. Elevated D-dimer levels were detected, and CT pulmonary angiography confirmed congenital interruption of the right middle and lower lobe pulmonary arteries, accompanied by extensive collateral circulation formation and pulmonary hypertension. This condition originates from abnormal development of the sixth aortic arch during embryogenesis and may clinically mimic chronic pulmonary embolism. Imaging evaluation is central to diagnosis, and treatment requires individualization: asymptomatic patients should undergo conservative follow-up, while those developing hemoptysis or progressive pulmonary hypertension may require interventional embolization or surgical intervention. This case underscores the need for vigilance regarding such rare vascular anomalies, where early recognition and long-term follow-up are crucial for improving patient prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2026.1821385","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]],"date-time":"2026-05-18T05:42:57Z","timestamp":1779082977000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Interruption of the right middle and lower lobe pulmonary arteries combined with arterial aneurysm formation at the origin of the right subclavian artery branch: a case report"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chengshi","family":"Hou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu","place":["Chengdu, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guocheng","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu","place":["Chengdu, China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e01073","DOI":"10.1002\/rcr2.1073","article-title":"Isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (IUAPA) in adults: a case series and review of literature","volume":"11","author":"Loo","year":"2023","journal-title":"Respirol Case Rep"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201502-0209IM","article-title":"Isolated unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery","volume":"192","author":"Taniguchi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Respir Crit Care Med"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"448","DOI":"10.1016\/j.acvd.2013.05.004","article-title":"Unilateral absence of pulmonary artery: pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis and current treatment","volume":"106","author":"Kruzliak","year":"2013","journal-title":"Arch Cardiovasc Dis"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"56","DOI":"10.1097\/rti.0000000000000373","article-title":"Proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery","volume":"34","author":"Williams","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Thorac Imaging"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4988","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2017.11.49","article-title":"Isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery in adulthood: a clinical analysis of 65 cases from a case series and systematic review","volume":"9","author":"Wang","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Thorac Dis"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"199","DOI":"10.1186\/s13019-023-02255-9","article-title":"Hemoptysis: unilateral pulmonary artery atresia?
