Pulmonary sequestration, a congenital lung anomaly, can rarely be supplied by the celiac trunk. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) precisely mapped this rare aberrant artery, guiding safe surgical resection.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiothoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital lung malformation characterized by non-functioning lung tissue with systemic arterial supply and lacking bronchial communication.
  • Aberrant arteries typically originate from the descending thoracic aorta, but celiac trunk origins are infrequent.
  • Intralobar pulmonary sequestration, especially with atypical arterial supply, presents diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration supplied by an artery from the celiac trunk.
  • To highlight the utility of preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) in surgical planning for such cases.
  • To demonstrate the successful application of minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a female patient diagnosed with intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
  • Preoperative imaging using three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) to delineate the aberrant artery's origin, course, and branches.
  • Surgical intervention via thoracoscopic basal segmentectomy with precise control of the aberrant artery.

Main Results:

  • The aberrant artery supplying the right lower lobe sequestration originated from the celiac trunk, a rare finding.
  • Preoperative 3DCT provided detailed anatomical information crucial for surgical strategy.
  • Thoracoscopic segmentectomy was performed successfully, with effective haemostasis and prevention of ischemic complications.

Conclusions:

  • Pulmonary sequestration supplied by the celiac trunk is an uncommon presentation requiring careful preoperative assessment.
  • 3DCT is an invaluable tool for mapping aberrant vasculature, facilitating safe and precise surgical planning.
  • Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approaches are feasible and effective for managing pulmonary sequestration with complex arterial supply.
