VASCULAR PLUG EMBOLIZATION OF TWO ARTERIES OF PULMONARY SEQUESTRATION PRIOR TO LOBECTOMY

Abstract

A 40-year-old male patient was admitted to our emergency department with hemoptysis. A contrast-enhanced thoracic computed tomography demonstrated pulmonary sequestration supplied by two separate aberrant arteries. Due to the risk of excessive bleeding during elective surgery, transcatheter embolization of aberrant arteries was planned before the operation. A 10mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug 2 was deployed to the proximal and a 6mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug 1 was deployed to the distal artery via the right femoral artery. The procedure was terminated with successful vascular embolization of the two afore-mentioned arteries. One month after the embolization, the robotic left lower lobectomy was performed electively.

LOBEKTOMİ ÖNCESİ PULMONER SEKESTRASYONUN VASKÜLER PLAK EMBOLİZASYONU

Abstract

40 yaşında bilinen sistemik hastalık öyküsü olmayan hemoptizi şikayeti ile acil servisimize başvuran hastanın çekilen kontrastlı toraks BT’sinde sol alt akciğer parenkiminin torasik aortadan kaynaklı iki aberran arter ile kanlandığı saptanmıştır. Göğüs cerrahisi tarafından değerlendirilerek lobektomi planlanan hastanın peroperatif kanama riskini azaltmak için elektif cerrahi öncesi aberran arterlerin transkataterik kapatılması planlandı. Sağ femoral yolla yapılan anjiografi sonrası proksimal artere 10 mm Amplatzer Vasküler Plak 2, distal artere ise 6 mm Amplatzer Vasküler Plak 1 yerleştirilerek işlem başarı ile sonlandırıldı. Hastaya 1 ay sonra elektif olarak başarılı robotik lobektomi uygulandı. Bu hibrid yaklaşım nadir bir tedavi stratejisi olarak uygulanmıştır.
