Intralobar pulmonary sequestration supplied by the right coronary artery.
Bronchopulmonary sequestrations are malformations that are often congenital; they consist of isolated nonfunctioning lung segments having no communication with functional tracheobronchial elements of the surrounding lung. They are supplied by single or multiple branches from the distal thoracic or proximal abdominal aorta, or from the celiac, splenic, intercostal, subclavian, or pulmonary artery. Due to the absence of ventilation, the lung tissue can become chronically infected. We describe an intralobar pulmonary sequestration with arterial supply from the right coronary artery.
