“…He was successfully treated with embolization, which has been advocated by several authors as the treatment of choice. 1,5 This case poses a unique management challenge as the patient also presented with a PE located in the right lower lobe. This was believed to be a direct result of the patient's traumatic injury as he was found to have a laceration of the posterior body of his right lower lobe, rather than a consequence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT).…”

Traumatic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms are rare, with only 25 previously documented cases. We present a case of traumatic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in a 27-year-old male with concomitant pulmonary embolism which presented eight days after injury. He was treated with coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm along with inferior vena cava filter placement. This unique case of concomitant traumatic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm and pulmonary embolism made management challenging given the competing priorities.

Pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity with congenital or mycotic origin being most common causes. Post-traumatic pulmonary pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare. Unless diagnosed early and properly managed, these can be fatal. Only few cases have been reported in the literature with most (except the one) being diagnosed much later after the initial injury and managed surgically. Only one case has been reported following blunt trauma injury, which was diagnosed immediately using computed tomography scan and managed conservatively. Here, we report two cases of pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm one following gunshot injury and other following blunt injury which was diagnosed on contrast enhanced computed tomography chest and managed conservatively.

Traumatic pulmonary artery or vein pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare and angiographic management is gaining grounds. These pseudoaneurysms are caused by both penetrating and blunt chest trauma. We presents a unique case of coexisted pulmonary vein and artery pseudoaneurysm due to penetrating chest trauma managed by angioembolization and inferior vena cava filter insertion for concomitant deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to contraindication to anticoagulation. The present case represents only the second case of coexisted pulmonary vein and artery pseudoaneurysm and the first with associated DVT making management decision complicated.
