Treatment for hemoptysis after percutaneous closure of a large intralobar pulmonary sequestration in elderly patient

Pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation.[1,2]Open surgical excision is the usual treatment,although thorascopic intervention and transcatheter embolization have been reported.However,only a limited number of articles involving percutaneous closure the rare pulmonary malformations have been published in the literature.[3]What’s more,previous studies involving percutaneous pulmonary sequestration closure with repeated respiratory symptoms at the very young age suggested that the optimal therapeutic strategy has yet to be determined.[4]We hereby describe a particular case of percutaneous closure of a large intralobar pulmonary sequestration at elderly age.
