Bronchial artery aneurysm mimicking aortic arch aneurysm or aortic dissection

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) are rare. They may be asymptomatic and detected incidentally; however, they can cause airway bleeding, mediastinal bleeding, and sometimes death if they rupture. Here, we present a case of a BAA that was detected secondary to chest pain. It was difficult to diagnose, but bronchial artery embolization (BAE) revealed good results.
