Describes pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm complications and endovascular treatment approach.
Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare complication of trauma or infection. They grow unpredictably and, therefore, are often discovered incidentally or after massive hemoptysis. Hemoptysis due to PAP rupture is often fatal due to the risk of asphyxiation and exsanguination. PAPs are typically diagnosed via CT pulmonary angiogram and are treated endovascularly.
