Comparison of clinical outcomes of pulmonary sequestration in adults between surgery and non-surgery groups.

Adults with PS tended to undergo resection if they were young, symptomatic, and had large PS (a median diameter of 90.0 mm). Almost all subjects who were initially asymptomatic and did not undergo surgery remained asymptomatic at the last follow-up. Therefore, considering the indolent course of PS, initially asymptomatic adults with PS could be followed up without surgery.
