Sumario:Vascular complications in the chest due to tuberculosis (TB) involve the pulmonary as well as bronchial vasculature. Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of internal mammary artery (IMA) are a sparsely reported clinical entity in the literature occurring due to TB. We report a rare case of IMA pseudoaneurysm due to the tubercular empyema in a patient with massive hemoptysis who was treated by endovascular coil embolization; however, the patient died due to refractory shock.
