We present an analysis of 400 intralobar and 133 extralobar sequestrations, six cases presenting intra-and extralobar sequestration simultaneously, five sequestrations of one whole lung, and two bilateral intralobar sequestrations.This anomaly comprises 0 15-6 4% of all congenital pulmonary malformations. Usually the posterior basal segment is affected.The aberrant artery in intralobar sequestration originated in 74% of all cases from the thoracic aorta, and in 14*8% there was more than one anomalous artery. The mean diameter of the aberrant arteries was 643-6 6 mm. Usually arteries with predominantly elastic fibres were found. Arteriosclerotic changes were common, even in children.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
