The Role of Pulmonary CT Angiography and Selective Pulmonary Angiography in Endovascular Management of Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysms Associated with Infectious Lung Diseases

Because main pulmonary angiography alone may fail to demonstrate a pseudoaneurysm, a selective angiogram based on the anatomic information obtained from pulmonary CT angiography is essential for detection of a pseudoaneurysm. In addition, endovascular management of a PAP appears to be a safe and effective treatment.
