Transarterial embolization of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in adult patients: A case series.

J Clin Imaging Sci

November 2024

Department of Vascular Interventional Radiology, Great Lakes Medical Imaging, Buffalo, New York, United States.

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.

Background: Tumor-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) play a critical role in the pathogenesis and progression of ovarian cancer, a lethal gynecologic malignancy. [I]iodo-DPA-713 is a PET radiotracer that is selectively trapped within reactive macrophages. We have employed this radioligand here as well as a fluorescent analog to image TAMs associated with primary tumors, secondary pulmonary metastases and gastrointestinal tract-associated macrophages, associated with ascites accumulation in a syngeneic mouse model of metastatic ovarian cancer.

This paper reports a rare case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration in the posterior mediastinum of a neonate with arterial supply from the pulmonary artery. A 3-day-old male neonate was diagnosed with type II congenital pulmonary airway malformation after prenatal color Doppler ultrasonography showed a lesion with blood supply from the pulmonary artery in the left lung. Post-birth chest computed tomography(CT) showed that the lesion was located in the posterior mediastinum with low density change, mild stripe enhancement after contrast, and no obvious blood supply vessels.

Pulmonary sequestrations comprise a spectrum of congenital lung malformations, with abnormal lung tissue lacking connection with the tracheobronchial tree, supplied by an aberrant systemic artery. Until a few years ago, lobectomy was considered the standard treatment for intralobar pulmonary sequestration. However, minimally invasive sublobar resection gained a place as an interesting alternative therapeutic approach, guided by indocyanine green and computed tomography-based 3-dimensional anatomical models.

Department of Forensic Medicine and Imaging, Institute of Forensic Medicine, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Introduction: Lymphobronchial tuberculosis (LBTB) is a tuberculous lymphadenopathy causing airway compression in young children. While it can occur in older children due to factors such as airway size, wall weakness, and immune reconstitutions, severe airway obstruction is more common in younger children.

Methods: Chest X-rays show airway compression, while bronchoscopy is the gold standard for confirming TB-induced airway compression.

Background: Intra-lobar (ILS) and extra-lobar lung (ELS) sequestrations represent rare congenital lung malformations. Despite their benign nature, the lesions pose risks such as recurrent pulmonary infections, hemoptysis, congestive heart failure, and tumor development. Pulmonary sequestration (PS) typically manifests in two forms, ILS and ELS, with bilateral occurrence being exceptionally rare and mostly requiring bilateral thoracic surgery.

Congenital lung anomaly (CLA) refers to a rare group of malformations that are typically identified prenatally or in early childhood. However, a significant proportion of cases evade detection until adulthood and either are incidentally discovered or manifest with symptoms of recurrent respiratory infection or pulmonary hemorrhage. While most CLAs have characteristic imaging findings at CT and MRI, they remain a diagnostic challenge due to the infrequency with which they are encountered in adults.
