Abstract
Abstract
The most common congenital lung malformations are congenital pulmonary airway malformations and pulmonary sequestrations. Many surgeons advocate resection to prevent complications of infection, malignancy, and pneumothorax. The standard of care is lobectomy, but segmentectomy and embolization alone have been reported. These methods avoid the complications of lobectomy but are not widely practiced due to concerns about incomplete resection or involution of the lesion. We present a novel approach to the treatment of a pulmonary sequestration in a 7-month-old male using preoperative embolization followed by a sublobar pulmonary resection. The embolization clearly demarcated the affected lung intraoperatively, thereby facilitating complete removal of the lesion with a segmental lung resection rather than complete lobectomy.
