While most are asymptomatic, they rarely can present with hemoptysis, which has been traditionally managed with surgical resection of the sequestration. We report a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with acute large-volume hemoptysis on a background of recurrent minor episodes of hemoptysis, due to intralobar sequestration. He was successfully treated with transarterial embolization with a combination of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles, gelfoam and coils. Transarterial embolization can be effective in managing emergent hemoptysis from pulmonary sequestration. UR - https://jtd.amegroups.org/article/view/12339
