Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a very rare congenital malformation in which a mass of pulmonary tissue is detached from the normal lung and receives its blood supply from a systemic artery. It may be clinically asymptomatic or it has a wide spectrum of various clinical manifestations. The clinical therapeutic approach is to resect the sequestered lobe to prevent frequent complication such as infection. The arterial embolization of feeding artery is a new technique and a less invasive treatment than conventional surgical removal. We have experienced a 17-year-old male with pulmonary sequestration whose complaints were pain in left lower chest. He was diagnosed by computed tomography and aortography and successfully treated with embolization of feeding artery. We report a case of pulmonary sequestration treated with arterial embolization instead of surgery.
