A pulmonary sequestration is a congenital malformation characterized by nonfunctional lung tissue with abnormal arterial systemic supply and abnormal connection to the bronchial tree. This may lead to recurrent infections rendering a surgical intervention more demanding. Because of multiple anatomic variations, it is important to obtain high quality pre-operative radiological clarification to determine the most suitable surgical approach. Although a non-surgical technique, consisting of embolization of the aberrant artery has been described, a surgical technique remains the treatment of choice in operable patients. Pre-operative embolization of the aberrant artery may reduce the risk of Haemorrhage but could cause technical challenges in a hybrid approach and therefore unforeseen per-operative stress to the surgical team. We report 2 adult patients with unusual intra-lobar sequestration with aberrant vascular rare anatomy. Both were treated by surgery. In the latter patient we performed a hybrid approach. This was complicated by per-operative coils exposure making it a technical challenge to proceed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
