Intralobar sequestration: left lower lobectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Journal Title: Current Thoracic Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital anomaly which receives its blood supply from systemic circulation It has no connection with normal tracheobronchial system, and located in a pulmonary lobe. These lesions should be treated promptly by surgery. Minimally invasive techniques may be preferred for resection. In the 32-year-old female patient, a lobulated, well-circumscribed mass lesion with a diameter of approximately 4 cm was detected on the posterior basilar segment of the left lower lobe. Besides, an aberrant artery which originated from the thoracic aorta and feeding the lesion was found. It was preoperatively observed that the arterial supply of the lesion was approximately 2 cm in diameter, originating from thoracic descending aorta. Venous drainage was through the pulmonary vein. Since intraoperative findings proved intrapulmonary sequestration to be necessary, left lower lobectomy was performed by VATS. The final pathology result was also reported as intralobar sequestration. This case is presented due to its rare occurrence and the use of minimally invasive techniques.
