A 43-year-old man with a history of double sleeve right upper lobectomy for pulmonary sarcoma, presented with worsening haemoptysis. Bronchoscopic and positron emission tomography (PET)CT appearances were suspicious for disease recurrence; however, on attending for CT-guided biopsy, he was found to have a large pseudoaneurysm of his right pulmonary artery. The patient underwent placement of endovascular covered stent with fluoroscopic confirmation of pseudoaneurysm occlusion, and was discharged home on lifelong antiplatelet therapy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm following double (bronchovascular) sleeve resection of the lung, successfully treated by endovascular stenting.

AbstractPulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAPA) is a potentially fatal, albeit rare cause of hemoptysis. With a varied etiology and debatable management, time is the essence in its treatment. We present a case of a post lobectomy PAPA with recurrence of malignancy, managed via endovascular approach in a low resource setting where an ideal hardware was not available.
