Mediastinal pulmonary artery is associated with greater artery diameter and lingular division volume

Abstract Pulmonary vessels have numerous variation and aberrant branching patterns. Mediastinal lingular artery (MLA), the most common aberrant branch, might contribute to greater blood flow to lingular division. Hence, we investigated a correlation between lingular division volume and MLA using thr...
