“…Pulmonary artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, whether congenital or acquired, are rare, but important to recognize because of the associated mortality. An aneurysm is a focal dilatation of a blood vessel that involves all three layers, whereas, a pseudoaneurysm does not involve all the layers of the arterial wall and is therefore at a higher risk of rupture (84). They may occur in association with a congenital cardiovascular anomaly, especially a patent ductus arteriosus; infection; neoplasm; vascular abnormality, including vasculitis, cystic medial necrosis, Marfan syndrome; and trauma, often iatrogenic.…”

The pulmonary arteries are not just affected by thrombus. Various acquired and congenital conditions can also affect the pulmonary arteries. In this review we discuss cross sectional imaging modalities utilized for the imaging of the pulmonary arteries. Acquired pulmonary artery entities, including pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS), vasculitis, aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformations, and congenital anomalies in adults, including proximal interruption of the pulmonary artery, pulmonary sling, pulmonary artery stenosis, and idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary trunk, are also discussed. An awareness of these entities and their imaging findings is important for radiologists interpreting chest imaging.

A 29-year-old woman presented with a 1-week history of fever, weakness, anorexia, darkened urine, and mild cough. The patient described her cough as nonproductive and without hemoptysis. She had no chest pain. The patient's medical history was significant for x-linked hypophosphatemia, renal stones, migraine headaches, and chronic back pain managed on prescribed oral opiates for some time. She reported regular cigarette smoking, but denied illicit or IV drug use or any recent travel or sick contacts. The patient also had no known pertinent family history.

Giant pulmonary pseudoaneurysm following balloon dilatation of the pulmonary artery to relieve pulmonary band

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. They may occur secondary to trauma, infectious diseases, vasculitis syndromes, neoplasms, congenital diseases, and pulmonary hypertension. Due to increasing number of cardiac interventions, iatrogenic complications are among the major causes of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms. In this report, we present a 6-month-old patient with pulmonary pseudoaneurysm that occurred following pulmonary balloon angioplasty for the relief of a pulmonary band.
