ABSTRACT Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAAs) are exceedingly uncommon. It is a life‐threatening diagnosis, and often associated with poor long‐term prognosis. We report a case of PAA in a 74‐year‐old man presenting with severe respiratory failure and haemoptysis with a history of advanced lung cancer. Though the intent was to manage the PAA with coil embolisation, this was unsuccessful and the patient passed away 72 h after hospital admission. There is limited evidence for treatment of PAA, and once a patient is symptomatic, has a high mortality.
