  • Title: Combined endovascular and surgical approaches to treat intralobar pulmonary sequestration: a case report.
    Author: Wang L, Balasubramanian S, Jackson R, Agrawal D.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2021 Jan; 103(1):e35-e37. PubMed ID: 32969253.
    Abstract:
    Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital abnormality of a non-functional pulmonary mass with anomalous systemic arterial supply. Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment, but it carries a risk of life-threatening haemorrhage from accidental injury of the anomalous artery. Endovascular embolisation has been introduced as a safe alternative, but does not eliminate the possibility of symptom recurrence. We report a case of a 61-year old woman with intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated with a combination of endovascular coil embolisation and surgical resection.
