  • Title: [Massive haemoptysis revealing bilateral sequestration in an adult: 3-year follow-up after embolization and surgery].
    Author: Coolen-Allou N, Mascarel P, Schlossmacher P, Gazaille V, Mbuyamba S.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 2016 May; 72(3):200-3. PubMed ID: 27113615.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary sequestration is a rare vascular malformation which is most of the time unilateral. We report here the case of a 35-year-old male admitted for severe haemoptysis revealing bilateral pulmonary sequestration: one type 1 of Pryce in the right lower lobe and one type 2 of Pryce in the left lower lobe. Bilateral embolization was performed followed by a segmental resection of the left lower lobe sequestration by thoracotomy. After 3-year follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and had no recurrence of haemoptysis. Enhanced computed tomography scan showed proximal occlusion of the right lower lobe sequestration systemic artery.
