Two aberrant arteries originating from the descending thoracic aorta were transected with a vascular stapler, and a left lower lobectomy was successfully performed thoracoscopically. Three-dimensional chest computed tomography was used to identify the aberrant vessels. Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy is useful and minimally invasive for treating pulmonary sequestration, especially in obese patients., The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com, General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 57(1), pp.46-48; 2009}, pages = {46--48}, title = {Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection for intralobar pulmonary sequestration.}, volume = {57}, year = {2009} }
