  • Title: Video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection for pulmonary sequestration.
    Author: Sakuma T, Sugita M, Sagawa M, Ishigaki M, Toga H.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 Nov; 78(5):1844-5. PubMed ID: 15511495.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old woman underwent a video-assisted thoracoscopic wedge resection of intralobar pulmonary sequestration instead of a lobotomy because the lesion was localized in the right basal segment. Preoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography was useful for identifying an aberrant artery arising from the thoracic aorta and distributing to the lesion. A successful outcome more than 4 years after the surgery indicates that a wedge resection under video-assisted thoracoscopy may prove to be a therapeutic option for localized pulmonary sequestration.
