Particle and Coil Arterial Embolization of Intralobar Sequestration for the Treatment of Hemoptysis and Chronic Productive Cough

Abstract

We present a case of a 33-year-old male who presented with hemoptysis for 12 days and productive cough for 6 months. Computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography showed an aberrant artery arising from the infradiaphragmatic aorta supplying the medial segment of the right lower lobe. Particle and coil arterial embolization of the aberrant artery resulted in complete resolution of hemoptysis and chronic cough at 1-year follow-up.
