RESUMEN
Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a rare cause of life-threatening hemoptysis and tends to develop in the setting of infection, neoplasm, or trauma. Successful endovascular coil embolization has demonstrated effectiveness in treating PAPs and is now the treatment of choice for these patients. Vascular supply to PAPs is highly variable and often requires embolization of both the systemic and pulmonary feeding vessels. This is a case report of a successful transcatheter coil embolization of a complex PAP with a thyrocervical trunk-pulmonary arterial fistula in a patient with massive hemoptysis in the setting of advanced cystic fibrosis.
