Preoperative arterial embolization of intralobar lung sequestration

A case of a 43-year-old patient with recurrent pulmonary infections due to pulmonary sequestration is presented. MR-angiography revealed an aberrant artery originating from the abdominal aorta feeding the intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Platinum coil embolization of the aberrant artery was perfo...

Description
Summary:A case of a 43-year-old patient with recurrent pulmonary infections due to pulmonary sequestration is presented. MR-angiography revealed an aberrant artery originating from the abdominal aorta feeding the intralobar pulmonary sequestration. Platinum coil embolization of the aberrant artery was performed preoperatively to allow safe surgical resection on the following day. To our knowledge this is the first case in the literature in which elective coil embolization has been performed before resection of lung sequestration.
