The aim of the study was to review the clinical characteristics of operated patients with respect to pulmonary sequestration and analyze diagnostic and therapeutic problems connected with this anomaly. Material and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of 23 patients operated on because of pulmonary sequestration between 1963 and 2004 in the Departments of Thoracic Surgery in Zakopane ...

Congenital systemic-to-pulmonary artery fistulas are very rare, with the exception of congenital heart disease and pulmonary sequestration. We describe the first reported case of left internal mammary and bronchial artery to pulmonary artery fistulas associated with bilateral coronary arteries to pulmonary artery fistulas.

The cases of a mother and infant son are reported, both with a rare type of pulmonary sequestration where the arterial supply to the lung arises from the systemic circulation. This is a familial case of arterial sequestration. In both patients, the lung parenchyma was radiologically normal.

We have previously described a model of acute lung injury in the mouse in which intravenous administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) results in a marked sequestration of neutrophils in the pulmonary microvasculature, although this by itself was not sufficient to induce injury. If the sequestered neutrophils were exposed to zymosan, then a striking increase in pulmonary vascular permeability t...

Purposes: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital anomaly that causes nonspecific respiratory symptoms. This report presented our surgical experience for pediatric cases of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in our institute. Methods: Between 2002 and 2014, 30 pediatric patients with intralobar pulmonary sequestration underwent lobectomy. The clinical characteristics of patients...

Inflammatory reactions are associated with sequestration of leukocytes in the lung. Complement activation leads to accumulation of leukocytes in alveolar septa and alveoli, to lung edema and hemorrhage. Although in organs other than the lung leukocytes interact with the vascular endothelium only in postcapillary venules, alveolar capillaries are considered to be the site of leukocyte sequestrat...

Pulmonary sequestration has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Many papers reporting typical cases have appeared in the literature. Repetition of material already extensively reported will not be attempted (Bariety and Coury, 1947; Pryce, Sellors and Blair, 1947; Bruwer, Clagett and McDonald, 1950,1954; Kergin, 1952; Santy, Berard, Gaby and Huu (1952); Boyd, 1953; Hertzog, Toty, ...
