Abstract:
Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital disease. In this paper, we describe the successful treatment of this disease with video-assisted thoracic surgery. We performed a superior segment-sparing lower lobectomy and completely removed the perfused lesion from the systemic artery. This approach allowed a patient to recover uneventfully and to preserve pulmonary function, resulting in an excellent clinical outcome.
