  • Title: Percutaneous injection therapy for a peripheral pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm after failed transcatheter coil embolization.
    Author: Lee K, Shin T, Choi J, Kim Y.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2008; 31(5):1038-41. PubMed ID: 18299923.
    Abstract:
    Coil embolization to occlude the feeding artery of a pseudoaneurysm is an effective treatment to control hemoptysis. However, a feeding artery of the pseudoaneurysm may not be identified at pulmonary angiography, resulting in a failure to obtain embolization. We describe here two cases of a Rasmussen aneurysm that was successfully treated with percutaneous injection of thrombin (case 1) and N-butyl cyanoacrylate (case 2) under ultrasonographic and fluoroscopic guidance after failed transcatheter coil embolization.
