Abstract

Pulmonary pseudoaneurysms have various causes and typically arise from the main pulmonary artery. Surgical and endovascular options may be considered for treatment. We report the case of a man with a pseudoaneurysm arising from the right pulmonary artery, treated with a septal occlusion device and percutaneous thrombin injection. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: CT, computed tomography; catheterization; endovascular repair; pulmonary angiogram; pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm; thrombin injection.
