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.

An anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segments without sequestration is a rare congenital abnormality within the spectrum of pulmonary sequestration. But this is rather different from the definition of pulmonary sequestration in that it has normal bronchial connections. We describe here our experience with surgical treatments for an anomalous systemic arterial supply to the left basal segments without sequestration, and this condition was confirmed preoperatively.
