“…Several case reports have been published regarding the treatment of pseudoaneurysms and various embolic materials have been used. Coils are the most common choice but may require the sacrifice of the feeding artery (O’Reilly et al 2022 ; Yamakado et al 2010 ; Law et al 2022 ; Marcelin et al 2018 ). This strategy is feasible if the pseudoaneurysm is relatively distal; however, in the present case, the target lesion was very proximal in the lobar artery.…”

Background Hemoptysis is a severe condition, associated with a high mortality rate from asphyxiation. Less than 5% of cases come from the pulmonary arterial circulation and large pseudoaneurysm are rarely treatable by stent graft. Case presentation We present the case of a 74-year-old man who suffered from a new onset of hemoptysis despite a prior bronchial artery embolization. He underwent a rescue endovascular stent graft placement for a massive hemoptysis caused by a ruptured proximal pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm. A short review of similar situations is provided. Conclusion Salvage endovascular stent graft placement for a massive hemoptysis caused by a ruptured proximal pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is a viable salvage technique for life-threatening hemoptysis.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) in Behcet’s disease is a rare yet potentially life-threatening manifestation, often presenting as haemoptysis. We present a case report of a 33-year-old male with recurrent haemoptysis and a history of oral and genital ulcers, diagnosed with Behcet’s disease complicated by PAA. Diagnostic workup, including imaging and laboratory tests, confirmed the diagnosis, leading to prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy and meticulous follow-up. The patient showed significant clinical improvement with reduced ulcer severity and no new episodes of haemoptysis during one-year follow-up. Our case underscores the importance of early recognition, multidisciplinary management, and close monitoring to optimize outcomes in Behcet’s disease with pulmonary involvement. A comprehensive literature review further elucidates the clinical nuances, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic strategies associated with this rare manifestation, highlighting the need for collaborative care and tailored interventions to mitigate complications and improve patient prognosis.
