Abstract:
Anomalous systemic arterial supply to the normal basal segments with normal bronchial connection of the lung without sequestration is a rare anomaly. It was classified as a type of sequestration according to Pryce's terminology, but whether the term - one of the sequestration is appropriate or not, is controversial because of normal bronchial connection. We describe our experience with surgical treatments for anomalous arterial supply to the normal basal segments of the left lower lobe.
