Abstract
- Bronchial artery aneurysm is a rare but life-threatening disease when it ruptures, and it requires prompt treatment to prevent from catastrophic ruptures.A 78-year-old woman was referred to our hospital to evaluate mediastinal massfound on chest computed tomography. We did a selective bronchial artery angiography and diagnosed as bronchial artery aneurysm. Aneurysmectomy with division of afferent and efferent arteries was performed through standard thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative 8th day without any complications.
