          Key Clinical Message

          Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon yet fatal clinical entity. Its presentation can mimic a number of common diseases and can be easily missed. As pseudoaneurysm is associated with a number of fatal complications, clinicians should be aware of imaging features which distinguishes pseudoaneurysms from its close differentials. Early recognition and treatment of pseudoaneurysm can prevent fatal outcomes including hemothorax, rupture, or death.

          Pulmonary artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms in adults: findings at CT and radiography.

          Semin Chong, Maria Silva, F Muller … (2007)
          The purpose of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the radiologic manifestations of pulmonary artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms with emphasis on the findings on contrast-enhanced CT. Pulmonary artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. Most are caused by trauma, often iatrogenic, infection, and Behçet's syndrome. Less common causes include pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, neoplasms, and connective tissue disease. Recognition of pulmonary artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms is important because of the high morbidity and mortality rates of rupture.

              Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm related to radiofrequency ablation of lung tumor.

              Takao Hiraki, H Mimura, Hideo Gobara … (2010)
              We describe a case of pulmonary artery (PA) pseudoaneurysm related to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of lung tumor. We performed RFA for a pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma directly adjacent to a branch of the PA. Seventeen days later, the patient complained of hemoptysis. A chest CT image revealed PA pseudoaneurysm. Transcatheter coil embolization was performed 59 days after RFA. Although PA pseudoaneurysm is rare, with an incidence of 0.2% (1/538 sessions) at our institution, it should be recognized as a risk when treating lung tumors adjacent to a branch of the PA.
