Abstract:
Pulmonary sequestration with feeding vessels from the abdominal aorta is relatively rare. A 56-year-old woman with chronic left thoracic pain was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography showed multiple pulmonary cysts in the left lung and an aberrant artery from the abdominal aorta. She was diagnosed with pulmonary sequestration. She underwent embolization of the aberrant artery and wedge resection of the sequestrated lung under indocyanine green guidance. The surgical treatment combining preoperative embolization of the artery and intraoperative indocyanine green-guided lung resection might be safe and minimally invasive for patients with lung sequestrations accompanied by feeding vessels from the abdominal aorta.
