A Surgical Case of Bronchial Artery Aneurysm Directory Connecting with Pulmonary Artery

Thoracoscopic Bronchial Artery Resection for Multiple Bronchial Artery Aneurysms

“…If all afferent and efferent vessels cannot be embolized, treatment failure is possible. [2][3][4] In this report, there were many branches of BA found during the operation. Thus, there was a possibility of recurrence if embolization was selected.…”

“…Surgery for BAAs includes surgical extirpation, BA ligation, resection of the BA with lobectomy, and BA resection without lobectomy. 2,3) In this case, we easily and successfully resected all BAAs and branches along with the BA. We could do this because the extent of resection was determined preoperatively using 3DCT, and VATS allowed clear visualization of the BA during the operation.…”

“…1,2) Transcatheter embolization has become the first-line treatment of BAAs; however, both treatment failure and complications can occur that require lobectomy with standard thoracotomy. [2][3][4] Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is preferable to a thoracotomy,…”

A case of primary racemose hemangioma in which the disappearance of an endobronchial lesion was confirmed after bronchial artery embolization

“…Thus, lung lobectomy has been performed, even recently, for these patients, those with massive hemoptysis, and those considered to be high-risk. 5,6,16,17 On the other hand, in cases with massive hemoptysis without a shunt, BAE has been reported to be effective. 13 The efficacy of BAE has been evaluated by the improvement of symptoms or the findings of bronchial arteriography but has not been evaluated based on endobronchial findings.…”

Endovascular Treatment of Multiple Bronchial Artery Aneurysms With Prominent Fistula to Pulmonary Artery in a Patient With Interstitial Lung Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review

“…2 Therefore, it is recommended that treatment should be initiated immediately once the diagnosis has been established. 3 Open surgeries, such as resection of the aneurysm and pulmonary lobectomy, are effective approaches. The introduction of minimal invasive endovascular treatment provided another solution to this clinical condition.…”
