The utility of three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography technology in pulmonary sequestration surgery

Our findings preliminarily establish 3D-CTBA as a reliable strategy for PS surgery, effectively addressing the dual challenges of aberrant vessel identification and parenchymal preservation, particularly in complex cases (e.g., patients with arteries originating from rare systemic arterial circulation or having multiple aberrant arteries). We believe that 3D-CTBA technology holds significant promise for the surgery of PS, and we anticipate its widespread use in patients with complex pulmonary malformations in the future. Further large-scale, multicenter, prospective studies are required to further confirm our findings.
