Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for ligation of anomalous systemic arterial supply to pulmonary sequestration

A 52-year old female with anomalous systemic arterial supply to pulmonary sequestration was reported. The patient was admitted because of an abnormal lung shadow on chest X-ray film. Computed tomography (CT) showed an anomalous systemic arterial supply to pulmonary sequestration of the left lower lung without lung infection. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for ligation of the anomalous systemic artery was performed. Postoperative course has been uneventful for 14 months after surgery. Blood supply increased to the left lower lung by 3-dimensional CT after surgery. The ligation of anomalous systemic arterial is enough for this disease.
