“…22 Garcia-Pena et al 27 reported spontaneous shrinkage of PS without complete involution in 1 patient. In their study, cases of complete involution of the lung parenchyma of sequestration had no recurrent pulmonary infection.…”

Background: Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is characterized by non-functioning lung tissue fed from 1 or several aberrant systemic arteries. The classical therapeutic approach is surgical resection. Several case reports have shown that coil embolization is feasible, but this technique has not been evaluated in a larger series of consecutively treated patients. The purpose of our study was to assess the early and long-term outcomes of coil embolization of PS in children and to determine the risk factors of early and late major adverse cardiovascular and pulmonary events. Methods and Results: Between March 1999 and December 2004, 6 patients (2 boys, 4 girls, mean age 4.7±3.8 years) with PS were treated by coil embolization of the feeding systemic artery. Four patients were considered to have been cured and 2 patients required a second coil embolization 6 months later because of residual systemic flow seen on computed tomography. Transient ischemic change of the lower limb occurred in the youngest patient. None of the other patients had any late complications or recurrent pneumonia. Conclusions: Coil embolization of PS is safe and feasible, with a good late outcome. (Circ J 2009; 73: 938 -942)

“…Historically, the mainstay in the management of pulmonary sequestration is by surgical resection, especially in symptomatic cases. There are recent reports of spontaneous involution of sequestration that may support a more conservative approach to asymptomatic pulmonary sequestration [4]. Coil embolization of pulmonary sequestration has also been described [5].…”

“…Specific radiographic findings are needed to make an accurate diagnosis of sequestration type. These include the presence of a lung mass, demonstration of an aberrant artery from the systemic circulation, any airway or gastrointestinal communication, and depiction of other associated lung or diaphragmatic malformations [9,10]. Identification of venous outflow by any imaging study is helpful to surgical planning, but not required to differentiate the type of lung sequestration.…”
