# Anomalous celiac aorta supply to normal basal segments of the lung: a case report

## TL;DR

A 28-year-old woman with a 10-year history of hemoptysis had an unusual blood supply from the celiac aorta to her lung, successfully treated with embolization.

## Contribution

Highlights the effectiveness of transarterial embolization in treating anomalous celiac aorta supply to lung segments.

## Key findings

- Anomalous celiac aorta supply to normal basal lung segments can cause hemoptysis.
- Transarterial embolization with a vascular plug successfully improved the patient's condition.
- Anomalous systemic arterial supply poses a deadly risk if untreated.

## Abstract

We present a case of a 28-year-old female patient who has suffered from hemoptysis for a period of 10 years. Examinations revealed an anomalous celiac aorta supply to normal basal segment of the lung. The patient was improved after embolisation with a vascular plug. This case demonstrates the deadly risk posed by anomalous systemic arterial supply to normal basal segments of the lung. As a minimally invasive procedure, transarterial embolization (TAE) is a safe and effective therapeutic choice.
