Key Points

  • To present a case of bronchial artery aneurysm repair following aortic dissection.
  • Reported case of a 59-year-old man with a history of Stanford type A aortic dissection.
  • Used endovascular coil embolization with 18 detachable coils to treat the right-sided aneurysm.
  • Followed by successful open aortic repair.
  • Achieved complete exclusion of the aneurysm with no perioperative complications.
  • Demonstrated technical challenges in embolizing the bronchial artery aneurysm.

Abstract

Bronchial artery aneurysm (BrAA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with aortic pathology. We present a case of a 59-year-old man with a history of Stanford type A acute aortic dissection and subsequent aortic repairs. Surveillance imaging revealed a progressively enlarging right-sided BrAA originating from the false lumen. A staged approach was adopted, beginning with endovascular coil embolization using 18 detachable coils, followed by an open aortic repair. The procedure was successful, with complete aneurysm exclusion and no perioperative complications. This case underscores the technical challenges of BrAA embolization and highlights the efficacy of a multidisciplinary, staged treatment strategy.
