A huge aortic arch aneurysm mimicking massive pulmonary artery embolism.
An 85-year-old man, who had previously undergone coronary bypass surgery, was subjected to a computed tomography (CT) scan because of an echocardiographic suspect of massive pulmonary embolism. A huge aortic arch aneurysm compressed the pulmonary arteries (Fig. 1). Sudden cardio-respiratory failure required mechanical ventilation. At this stage, surgeons considered him inoperable for high risk....
متن کاملBronchial Artery Aneurysm with Associated Bronchial Artery to Pulmonary Artery Fistula: Treatment by Embolization
Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare vascular phenomenon. This review highlights a case of a BAA that was complicated by the presence of a bronchial artery to pulmonary artery (BA-PA) fistula, consequently presenting a unique challenge to management. BAAs have a strongly reported risk of rupture resulting in life-threatening hemoptysis. Embolization has thus become routine for the manageme...
متن کاملPulmonary Artery Agenesis with Bronchial Asthma
Unilateral Pulmonary Artery Agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly during the 4 th week of gestational age. It is defined as an absence of pulmonary parenchyma and its supporting artery. A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital because of chronic cough. Chest examination showed a decrement in lung sound of right hemi-thorax with expiratory wheeze. Chest radiography (CXR) revealed a...
متن کاملPulmonary artery aneurysm associated with severe degenerative aortic stenosis.
We report a pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm associated with severe aortic stenosis and an aortic root dilatation occurring in a 59-year-old woman who presented with dyspnoea and chest pain. PA aneurysms are rare, and there are no definitive guidelines on its management. There are contentious opinions on whether such aneurysms should be managed conservatively or surgically. Our patient had associ...
متن کاملHuge idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm
A pulmonary artery aneurysm is an uncommon anomaly. The clinical manifestations are mostly nonspecific, and management is controversial. We report a case of a 67-year-old woman with a main pulmonary artery aneurysm who did not take surgical intervention. Subsequently, there was no increase in size for 3 years.
