bronchopulmonary sequestration (bps)

What is Bronchopulmonary Sequestration?

Bronchopulmonary Sequestration (BPS) is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract. It involves non-functioning lung tissue that does not have a normal connection with the bronchial tree and receives its blood supply from the systemic circulation rather than the pulmonary arteries. BPS can be classified into two types: intralobar and extralobar sequestrations.
