Congenital absence of the left pulmonary artery remains a rarely reported anomalous condition and is even less commonly seen in conjunction with a right-sided aortic arch. While most cases are identified during prenatal fetal ultrasonography and require early childhood intervention, some asymptomatic cases can go unrecognized until incidentally detected on chest imaging as an adult. This case details a 31-year-old male with a congenital absence of the left pulmonary artery and right-sided aortic arch with subsequent atretic and fibrotic lung, all found on imaging during admission for acute alcoholic hepatitis.

Introduction: The intricate interplay between organs can give rise to a multitude of physiological conditions. Disruptions such as inflammation or tissue damage can precipitate the development of chronic diseases such as tumors or diabetes mellitus (DM). While both lung cancer and DM are the consequences of disruptions in homeostasis, the relationship between them is intricate.

Given the strong association between relative wall thickness (RWT) and cardiovascular dysfunction, this study aims to explore RWT as a novel cardiovascular indicator to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after lung cancer surgery and guide clinical interventions. This study retrospectively analyzed 170 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung cancer in Nanjing First Hospital, China, between January 2022 and December 2023. Patients were divided into AKI group (n = 52) and non-AKI group (n = 118) based on the occurrence of AKI.
