Kim, Lee, Hwang, and Cho: Coil Embolizaton of Mycotic Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report

Abstract

Aneurysms of the pulmonary artery are rare, with mycotic aneurysms occurring most frequently. This latter type may also occur in association with a lung abscess or septicemia, particularly in drug addicts. As far as we are aware, the radiologic findings of mycotic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery have not been reported in Korea. We present the simple chest radiographs, as well as the CT and angiographic findings ,of a case of aneurysm of the pulmonary artery which was successfully embolized using a coil.
