Abstract: Intralobar pulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation characterized by the presence of dysplastic lung that does not communicate with tracheobronchial tree, and has aberrant systemic arterial supply. While most are asymptomatic, they rarely can present hemoptysis, which been traditionally managed surgical resection sequestration. We report case an 18-year-old male who presented acute large-volume hemoptysis on background recurrent minor episodes due to intralobar He was successfully treated transarterial embolization combination polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles, gelfoam coils. Transarterial be effective in managing emergent from
