Thoracoscopic surgery for intralobar pulmonary sequestration.
A 47-year-old male with intralobar pulmonary sequestration successfully treated by thoracoscopic surgery was reported. Preoperative selective angiography revealed two aberrant arteries originating from the left infraphrenic artery. Under thoracoscopy, adhesive tissues around the sequestered lung were dissected, aberrant arteries were divided and the sequestered lung was resected. We considered that preoperative detailed analysis of the aberrant artery was very important to safely perform thoracoscopic procedures for pulmonary sequestration.
