Abstract

A 4-year-old boy with left intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with left main coronary artery obstruction (LMCAO) and severe mitral regurgitation (MR) was admitted to our hospital. Since the patient presented with dyskinesia of the cardiac apex and increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left main coronary artery reconstruction and mitral annuloplasty were performed. The enlargement of the left ventricle was improved after sequential surgeries. There was a risk of deterioration of MR and regrowth of LVEDV due to shunt blood flow; therefore, left lower lobectomy and aberrant artery division were performed. This is a very rare case of a patient with pulmonary sequestration associated with LMCAO and severe MR.

Keywords: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration; Left main coronary artery obstruction; Mitral regurgitation.
