Abstract:
The patient was a 72-year-old man with a history of bronchiectasis. He was admitted to our hospital for an examination of hoarseness. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed bronchiectasis in the bilateral lungs and bronchial artery aneurysm in the mediastinum. To prevent rupture of the aneurysm, we imaged the bronchial artery aneurysm by selective bronchial artery angiography and performed bronchial artery embolization (BAE) with 19 platinum coils. Three months after successful BAE, his hoarseness had improved, and the bronchial artery aneurysm was reduced in size after 12 months. To our knowledge, this is the 1st report of BAE improving hoarseness due to bronchial artery aneurysm.
