Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms are an uncommon diagnosis and have been minimally described in the coronavirus (COVID-19) literature. In our case, a 31-year-old man presented with severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure, stress cardiomyopathy, and combined septic and cardiogenic shock secondary to COVID-19 pneumonia and Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia. The patient had perfusing granulomas eroding into the pulmonary vasculature, causing impending hemothorax. Thoracic surgical procedures for infectious pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms or perfusing granulomas in patients who have had COVID-19 should be performed selectively and with thoughtful perioperative planning to prevent the life-threatening complications of rupture and bleeding.
肺动脉假性动脉瘤是一种不常见的诊断,在冠状病毒(COVID-19)文献中鲜有描述。在我们的病例中,一名 31 岁男性因 COVID-19 肺炎和咽峡炎链球菌菌血症导致严重急性低氧性呼吸衰竭、应激性心肌病以及合并脓毒性和心源性休克而就诊。患者的血管内有穿透性肉芽肿,侵蚀到肺血管,导致即将发生血胸。对于 COVID-19 患者的感染性肺动脉假性动脉瘤或穿透性肉芽肿,应选择性地进行胸外科手术,并进行周到的围手术期计划,以预防破裂和出血等危及生命的并发症。
