Massive hemoptysis due to multiple bronchial artery aneurysms and multiple aneurysmal dilations: A case report

Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening clinical entity. Patients with multiple BAAs and multiple aneurysmal dilations are even rarer. In this case report, we will investigate a case of multiple BAAs and multiple aneurysmal dilations arising from 2 right bronchial...

Sumario:Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening clinical entity. Patients with multiple BAAs and multiple aneurysmal dilations are even rarer. In this case report, we will investigate a case of multiple BAAs and multiple aneurysmal dilations arising from 2 right bronchial artery branches presenting with hemoptysis. The patient was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial embolization. We should be vigilant for the possibility of BAA when encountering patients presenting with hemoptysis. Transcatheter arterial embolization is safe and effective to solve this condition.
