: N-Butyl cyanoacrylate embolization of peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysms has rarely been performed. This report presents a young woman with history of patent ductus arteriosus and massive hemoptysis secondary to pulmonary artery aneurysm, successfully managed by embolotherapy using N-Butyl cyanoacrylate. This is the first report of n-Butyl cyanoacrylate embolization treatment of a bleeding pulmonary artery aneurysm in the setting of patent ductus arteriosus. The pertinent literature has been reviewed and the clinical background as well as the procedure have been explained.

Background. Infective endocarditis (IE) involving the pulmonic valve and/or the pulmonary artery is rare. An unrepaired patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a risk factor for IE. A previous IE is also a risk factor that predisposes to IE recurrence. Discriminating between IE recurrence and a persistence of a vegetation from a previously treated IE can be difficult. We present the case of a 19-year-old primigravid with an unrepaired PDA and a history of IE treated 7 years prior, with positive blood cultures and vegetations on the pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery seen on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). Methods and Results. On TTE, a small-sized PDA with a Qp : Qs of 1.18 and vegetations on the pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery were documented. Despite the paucity of symptoms, she was empirically treated as culture-negative IE and given 2 weeks of ceftriaxone. Repeat TTE done after 2 weeks only showed a slight decrease in the vegetation size. Due to the paucity of symptoms of infection, lack of growth of the vegetation, and absence of embolic events, the vegetations were deemed to be persistent remnants from the previous IE rather than a recurrent IE. She was advised surgical PDA closure and harvest of vegetations after delivery, but the patient did not consent. The rest of her perinatal course was uneventful. Conclusion. Persistence of vegetations despite successful medical treatment occurs in some cases and has not been reported to be associated with increased morbidity. Therefore, a follow-up of IE after treatment should be guided by the clinical course and response to therapy as well as the echocardiographic morphology of vegetations over time.

AbstractDuctus arteriosus is an essential component of fetal circulation. Due to occurring changes in the cardiopulmonary system physiology after birth, ductus arteriosus closes. Patent ductus arteriosus can be closed by medical or invasive (percutaneous or surgical) treatment methods. Percutaneous or surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus can be performed for the cases that medical closure failed. Surgical treatment is often preferred method for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in the neonatal period. The most common surgical complications are pneumothorax, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, bleeding, and recanalisation. A very rare surgical complication is left pulmonary artery ligation that has been presented in a few cases in the literature. Echocardiography control should be performed in the early post-operative period, especially in patients with clinical suspicion. If reoperation is required, it should never be delayed. We report a newborn patient whose left pulmonary artery ligated accidentally during patent ductus arteriosus closure surgery and surgical correction of this complication at the early post-operative period.
