Mycotic pulmonary artery false aneurysms were treated using intrasaccular embolization with steel coils in a 32-year-old female. This minimally invasive approach proved effective, preventing complications and offering a successful treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Pulmonary artery false aneurysms are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular abnormalities.
  • Mycotic aneurysms, often associated with infective endocarditis or septic emboli, carry a high risk of rupture and systemic dissemination.
  • Traditional surgical management can be complex and associated with significant morbidity.

Observation:

  • A 32-year-old female presented with two confirmed pulmonary artery false aneurysms.
  • The aneurysms were diagnosed as being of mycotic origin, indicating an infectious etiology.
  • The patient's clinical presentation and imaging findings necessitated prompt and effective intervention.

Findings:

  • Intrasaccular embolization using steel coils was performed as the primary treatment modality.

  • The procedure was technically successful, achieving complete occlusion of both false aneurysms.
  • The patient experienced no immediate or short-term complications post-embolization.

    • Implications:

    • Intrasaccular coil embolization represents a viable and potentially less invasive alternative to surgery for mycotic pulmonary artery false aneurysms.
    • This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and endovascular intervention in managing complex vascular pathologies.
    • Further research into endovascular techniques for mycotic aneurysms could refine treatment strategies and improve patient outcomes.
