  • Title: Endovascular treatment of a brachiocephalic artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to biopsy at mediastinoscopy.
    Author: Ahmed I, Katsanos K, Ahmad F, Dourado R, Lyons O, Reidy J.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2009 Jul; 32(4):792-5. PubMed ID: 18839243.
    Abstract:
    Isolated injury to the brachiocephalic artery is relatively rare. We report the case of a 53-year-old lymphoma patient who had had a biopsy at mediastinoscopy in the past and was found incidentally on routine staging computed tomography to have developed a large pseudoaneurysm of the brachiocephalic artery. We describe the successful percutaneous treatment of this iatrogenic injury using endovascular deployment of covered stent-grafts.
