Abstract
We herein report the case of a 59-year-old male suffering from severe cough. The patient had previously experienced several episodes of pneumonia beginning in childhood. A three dimensional multidetector computed tomography (3D-MDCT) scan revealed pulmonary sequestration with a left gastric artery blood supply, and clearly revealed the other pulmonary vessels. The patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, in which the anomalous tissue was resected safely. Preoperative visualization of the vessels may be helpful for the safe treatment of a pulmonary sequestration, and the VATS approach is a suitable operation under corrective surgical planning.
