Pulmonary sequestration is a rare malformation characterised by non-functioning lung tissue, separated from the tracheobronchial tree and with arterial supply from the systemic circulation. The classical therapeutic approach is surgical resection. In recent years, the endovascular embolisation technique is increasingly being used for the treatment of this disease. The embolisation materials used are coils and vascular plugs. The Amplatzer庐 vascular plug is a self-expandable cylindrical mesh device, particularly useful for the embolisation of large vessels with high flow. Three cases of pulmonary sequestration were treated by embolisation with Amplatzer庐 vascular plugs. In all cases the procedure was performed without complications, and the aortopulmonary collateral vessels were completely occluded.

Our study provides new data on the safety and efficacy of pulmonary embolisation with Amplatzer庐 vascular plugs, and its preference over coils in the embolisation of large vessels.
