Abstract
An aberrant arterial aneurysm with pulmonary sequestration is rare. Here, we report about a 35-year-old man who had no symptoms related to pulmonary sequestration. Computed tomography revealed an aberrant arterial aneurysm with an 18 mm in diameter with intralobar pulmonary sequestration, which gradually increased in size to 27 mm over 5 years. The patient underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair with coil embolization for the aneurysmal distal branches to prevent aneurysm rupture. The postoperative course was unremarkable without a need for lobectomy. During a 1-month follow-up period, the aneurysm shrunk with no endoleaks. Stent-graft placement and coil embolization represent an effective and less invasive treatment option to completely block systemic arterial flow and unexpected retrograde backflow and control the expansion of the aneurysm.
