Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare entity. Ruptured BAA can cause life-threatening hemorrhage. It is recommended that treatment should be initiated immediately after diagnosis. We present the case of a 56-year-old female with multiple BAAs and interstitial lung disease. Aortic computed tomography angiography demonstrated that the largest aneurysm at the right hilum was fed by right subclavian artery and right bronchial artery. A fistula between the pulmonary trunk and the aneurysm was also revealed. The patient underwent transcatheter embolization. Coils were placed in the feeding vessels instead of the aneurysms to avoid nontarget embolization of the pulmonary arteries through the fistula. The procedure achieved reduction in aneurysmal blood flow. The patient's cough resolved at 6-month follow-up.
支气管动脉动脉瘤(BAA)是一种罕见的病症。破裂的BAA可导致危及生命的出血。建议在诊断后立即开始治疗。我们报告一例56岁患有多发性BAA和间质性肺病的女性病例。主动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影显示,右肺门处最大的动脉瘤由右锁骨下动脉和右支气管动脉供血。还发现肺动脉干与动脉瘤之间存在瘘管。该患者接受了经导管栓塞治疗。将弹簧圈放置在供血血管而非动脉瘤内,以避免通过瘘管对肺动脉进行非靶性栓塞。该操作使动脉瘤血流量减少。患者在6个月的随访中咳嗽症状消失。
