Abstract

Objective To present one case of bronchial artery aneurysm successfully treated with endovascular interventional procedure and review literature. Methods A 67-year-old man was diagnosed with mediastinal bronchial artery aneurysm accompanied with tuberculous pleurisy by chest imaging. The aneurysm was treated via transcatheter bronchial artery embolization combined with endovascular stent-graft placement in the thoracic aorta under DSA guidance. Results Postprocedural angiography showed satisfactory exclusion of the aneurysm and no endolead. Conclusion Interventional therapeutic management of bronchial artery aneurysm is feasible and accurate.
