Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is a very rare but potential complication of chest trauma. These aneurysms are usually produced by penetrating trauma although a few cases have been reported after blunt injury. They should be suspected if there is a persistence of opacity on chest radiograph that when evaluated by contrast-enhanced CT shows an increased opacification of the mass. Diagnosis is confirmed with a pulmonary arteriogram.
肺动脉假性动脉瘤是胸部创伤中一种非常罕见但潜在的并发症。这些动脉瘤通常由穿透性创伤引起，不过也有少数钝性损伤后发生的病例报道。如果胸部X线片上存在持续的不透明影，经对比增强CT评估显示肿块的不透明度增加，则应怀疑有肺动脉假性动脉瘤。通过肺动脉造影可确诊。
