Transcatheter embolization for idiopathic peripheral pulmonary arterial aneurysm: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2019 Apr 15;7(5):1021-1024. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2154. eCollection 2019 May.

Abstract

The natural history of idiopathic peripheral pulmonary arterial aneurysms (PAAs) is unclear; however, they can cause sudden death by rupture. Our case illustrates the utility and low invasiveness of transcatheter embolization using an AMPLATZER™ Vascular Plug 4 and hydrogel-coated metallic coils in patients with idiopathic peripheral PAAs.

Keywords: AVP 4; embolization; hydrogel‐coated metallic coil; peripheral pulmonary arterial aneurysm.
