Bronchopulmonary sequestrations are malformations that are often congenital; they consist of isolated nonfunctioning lung segments having no communication with functional tracheobronchial elements of the surrounding lung. They are supplied by single or multiple branches from the distal thoracic or proximal abdominal aorta, or from the celiac, splenic, intercostal, subclavian, or pulmonary artery. Due to the absence of ventilation, the lung tissue can become chronically infected. We describe an intralobar pulmonary sequestration with arterial supply from the right coronary artery.

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by aberrant lung tissue supplied by an aberrant systemic artery or arteries coursing within the inferior pulmonary ligament. The intralobar variety is the most frequent form. Clinical presentation may include recurrent haemoptysis and infection.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital lung issue where abnormal lung tissue is supplied by a wrong artery, most commonly seen in the intralobar form.
- Patients often experience symptoms like recurrent coughing up blood and lung infections.
- Surgical treatment involves carefully removing the affected tissue while protecting healthy lung, with techniques to minimize the risk of bleeding from the abnormal arteries during the procedure.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation where abnormal lung tissue lacks a connection to the airways and receives blood supply from systemic arteries. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with recurrent hemoptysis diagnosed with intralobar PS (ILS) as the cause. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to clip and section the aberrant artery, resulting in a successful outcome with no further bleeding.

Pulmonary sequestration is a malformation of lung tissue such that a zone of pulmonary parenchyma exists in isolation from the bronchopulmonary tree. This condition is typically treated with surgical resection, but an increasing number of sequestrations are being treated with arterial embolization. We report interventions that were performed at two institutions on patients 53-70 years old.
