Case of the Month

Parenchymal Sparing Resection of an Infected Pulmonary Intralobar Sequestration
Feeding artery ligated and partially divided

By Victor W. Wong, MD, Brett Burbridge, MPAS, PA-C and Paul Schipper, MD

Pulmonary sequestrations are rare congenital malformations of lung tissue that do not connect normally to the tracheobronchial tree and receive systemic blood supply … Although 10-15% of patients may remain asymptomatic, most experts recommend resection to establish a diagnosis and prevent future complications.
