The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Pulmonary sequestration is a congenital abnormality of a non-functional pulmonary mass with anomalous systemic arterial supply. Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment, but it carries a risk of life-threatening haemorrhage from accidental injury of the anomalous artery. Endovascular embolisation has been introduced as a safe alternative, but does not eliminate the possibility of symptom recurrence. We report a case of a 61-year old woman with intralobar pulmonary sequestration treated with a combination of endovascular coil embolisation and surgical resection.
