Descripción
Sumario:The development of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) secondary to pulmonary mucormycosis (PM) is exceedingly rare. Without immediate intervention, PAPs can result in life-threatening hemorrhage as these weakening vessels are prone to rupture. To avoid such an occurrence, procedures that restrict blood flow to the vulnerable region are typically performed. The present case study details the effective employment of endovascular coil embolization in treating a patient with PAP due to pulmonary mucormycosis.
