  • Title: Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm after computed tomography-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration lung biopsy.
    Author: Melloni G, Bandiera A, Crespi G, Zannini P.
    Journal: J Thorac Imaging; 2012 May; 27(3):W48-9. PubMed ID: 21436743.
    Abstract:
    Intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication. Herein we report an unusual case of an intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm caused by computed tomography-guided percutaneous fine needle aspiration lung biopsy and successfully treated with endovascular embolization. Radiologists performing percutaneous fine needle aspiration lung biopsies should be aware of this rare potential complication.
