Abstract
-
An anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segments without sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality within the spectrum of pulmonary sequestration. But this is rather different from the definition of pulmonary sequestration in that it has normal bronchial connections. We describe here our experience with surgical treatments for an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segments without sequestration, and this condition was confirmed preoperatively.
