Abstract
We report the case of a patient with a congenital aortic valve stenosi s associated with a long-term undiagnosed intralobar pulmonary sequest ration. The important blood flow through the aberrant artery led to pr ogressive congestive heart failure and severe hemoptysis at the age of 25 years. We demonstrate the regression of cardiac symptoms and left ventricular diameter after surgical resection of the sequestration. (C ) 1998 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
