Diagnosis of ASD associated with scimitar syndrome was based on transthoracic echocardiography, with the latter one subsequently confirmed by computed tomography (CT) angiography (Figure 2) and three-dimensional (3D) volume-rendering reconstruction (Figure 3).

Angiography of the arteries supplying the right lung sequestrum from the aorta. (A) The artery heading upward and supplying part of the lower lobe was visualized. A short trunk about 4.5 mm in diameter, dividing into two arteries about 3.6-4.0 mm in diameter. (B) Embolization of both branches of the artery using Amplatzer Piccolo  Occluder implants.
