Abstract:
An 82-year-old male was admitted due to mild chest discomfort. Enhanced computed tomography showed a large bronchial artery aneurysm(BAA) of 26×27 mm at the left hilus. To avoid the rupture of BAA, coil embolization alone was performed. There has been no enlargement of BAA for these 4 years. In general, coil embolization only should be indicated in a patient with BAA with a stalk because of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) being off-label and low cost performance. TEVAR would be considered as a last resort only in case of enlarging BAA even after coil embolization.

The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...
