Bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) are rare and are known to be associated with bronchiectasis. The presentation varies from incidental radiological finding to life-threatening hemoptysis. A diagnosis of BAA is an indication for intervention irrespective of its presentation. Despite interventional procedures being at the forefront of management, surgical procedures are being reserved for specific situations. Recently, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is an alternate for management of BAA. We, herein, present a case of multiple BAA with cystic bronchiectasis managed surgically with left lower lobectomy and localized descending thoracic aorta (DTA) replacement with plication of feeding arteries through left posterolateral thoracotomy approach.
