Title: Endovascular Embolization of Pulmonary Sequestration Presenting With Hemoptysis: A Promising Alternative to Surgery Cord-id: 0mmgvwxs Document date: 2021_8_23
ID: 0mmgvwxs
Snippet: Pulmonary sequestration is abnormal lung parenchyma separated from the normal tracheobronchial system and supplied by an aberrant systemic artery. It is usually asymptomatic; however, it can present with hemoptysis and recurrent pulmonary infections. Although surgery is the classical treatment, arterial embolization is recently established as an alternative treatment to avoid surgical complications. We present a case of left lower lobe intralobar pulmonary sequestration presented with hemoptysis
Document: Pulmonary sequestration is abnormal lung parenchyma separated from the normal tracheobronchial system and supplied by an aberrant systemic artery. It is usually asymptomatic; however, it can present with hemoptysis and recurrent pulmonary infections. Although surgery is the classical treatment, arterial embolization is recently established as an alternative treatment to avoid surgical complications. We present a case of left lower lobe intralobar pulmonary sequestration presented with hemoptysis and was successfully treated with coil embolization.
