Intraoperative and pathological findings. a The aberrant artery (white arrow) was identified. b The central side of the aberrant artery (white arrow) was ligated, and the artery was processed with an auto-stapler. The black arrow indicates the inferior vena cava and the asterisk indicates the diaphragm. c The region perfused by the anomalous artery was clearly shown by intravenous injection of ICG, and d the segment was resected using an auto-stapler. e Macroscopically, a large blood vessel dilated in the resected lung was observed. The length of the red bar is 1.0 cm. f Histopathologically, the endometrium of the dilated aberrant artery was thickened, and the intime thickening continued to the peripheral pulmonary artery (Hematoxylin–eosin stain, loupe magnification). The length of the black bar is 1.0 cm
