Bronchial artery aneurysm is uncommon, and the occurrence of multiple aneurysms arising from a bronchial artery is even rarer. To date, there has been only one published case report describing double bronchial artery aneurysms. We herein describe a case of three aneurysms arising from a left bronchial artery, accompanied by multiple bilateral hypertrophied bronchial and intercostobronchial arteries, as well as a double aortic arch. Bronchial artery aneurysm is potentially life-threatening, and immediate treatment is recommended to minimise the potential risk of rupture. The aneurysms in our case were successfully treated via transcatheter arterial embolisation using coils.
支气管动脉动脉瘤并不常见,而源自支气管动脉的多发性动脉瘤则更为罕见。迄今为止,仅有一篇发表的病例报告描述了双支气管动脉动脉瘤。我们在此描述一例源自左支气管动脉的三个动脉瘤病例,伴有双侧多发肥大的支气管动脉和肋间支气管动脉,以及双主动脉弓。支气管动脉动脉瘤有潜在生命危险,建议立即治疗以将破裂的潜在风险降至最低。我们病例中的动脉瘤通过使用弹簧圈进行经导管动脉栓塞成功治疗。
