Ruptured Mycotic Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm in an Infant: Transcatheter Embolization and CT Assessment

Mycotic Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm

“…Options for treatment include surgery or embolization, with the choice of surgical therapy depending on the site of the aneurysm (eg, aneurysmectomy, wedge resection, or lobectomy). 6,7 The case we report of a mycotic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm appearing as an enhancing mass on contrastenhanced CT highlights the importance of utilizing the appropriate imaging modalities to evaluate a lung mass. Another recent case report described an endobronchial mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm that was biopsied and resulted in fatal hemorrhage.…”

Intra-Aneurysmal Glue Embolisation of a Giant Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Left Upper Lobe Lobectomy: Case Report

These placements can also occlude the perfusion to aerated lung, distal to the embolisation site, and are associated with complications, like coil migration and damage to vessel wall.…”
