- Abstract
A 40-year-old male patient was admitted to our emergency department with hemoptysis. A contrast-enhanced thoracic computed tomography demonstrated pulmonary sequestration supplied by two separate aberrant arteries. Due to the risk of excessive bleeding during elective surgery, transcatheter embolization of aberrant arteries was planned before the operation. A 10 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug 2 was deployed to the proximal and a 6 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug 1 was deployed to the distal artery via the right femoral artery. The procedure was terminated with successful vascular embolization of the two afore-mentioned arteries. One month after the embolization, the robotic left lower lobectomy was performed electively.
