文摘

There are no large scale studies exclusive for pulmonary artery aneurysms as a cause of massive hemoptysis, only small studies are there. No randomised control trial is there to suggest efficacy of surgical excision or endovascular treatment over each other. It's well known that definite treatment by surgical excision carries high mortality when done in emergency sitting. Endovascular approach in such a patient is a less utilised treatment modality and that too with coil embolisation is not much practiced.

This article emphasises the role of CTA in diagnosing and embolisation as emergency management of these aneurysms.
