Structured PICO

Population

2 patients (a 29-year-old female and a 17-year-old male) with peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms and idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension presenting with hemoptysis, along with a literature review of 69 cases in Japan.

Intervention

Endovascular coil embolization

Outcome

Resolution of hemoptysis and survivalhard clinical
