Hemoptysis caused by a left subclavian pseudoaneurysm: endovascular solution for a challenging case

Vascular. 2013 Jun;21(3):159-62. doi: 10.1258/vasc.2011.cr0266.

Abstract

This is one of the first reports of a left subclavian pseudoaneurysm in a patient presenting with massive hemoptysis. We present a challenging case of a patient who consulted for hemoptysis. Imaging revealed a left subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm that caused a pulmonary parenchymal lesion. Treatment with a self-expanding thoracic stent-graft and a subclavian occluder was successful.
