A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent hemoptysis. On bronchial arteriography, an aberrant artery originating from the celiac artery via left gastric artery and communicating with the pulmonary circulation was pointed out. He received embolization therapy of the aberrant artery. Chest CT suggested the existence of intralobar pulmonary sequestration in the right lower lobe. He had no recurrence after the embolization therapy. This was a case of intralobar pulmonary sequestration with a rare type of aberrant artery.
