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.
支气管动脉动脉瘤(BAA)是一种罕见但可能危及生命的临床病症。患有多发性BAA和多发性动脉瘤样扩张的患者更为罕见。在本病例报告中,我们将研究一例由2支右支气管动脉分支引发的多发性BAA和多发性动脉瘤样扩张病例,该患者伴有咯血症状。患者通过经导管动脉栓塞术获得成功治疗。当遇到咯血患者时,我们应警惕BAA的可能性。经导管动脉栓塞术对于解决这种病症安全有效。
