Intralobar pulmonary sequestration: value of aortography and pulmonary arteriography

Twelve patients with plain roentgenographic findings of intralobar pulmonary sequestration were evaluated with aortography and, in most instances, pulmonary arteriography. Correlative criteria from aortography and pulmonary arteriography permit a precise diagnosis to be made. Pulmonary infections must be differentiated from intralobar pulmonary sequestration because treatment for the latter should be surgical.
