Abstract

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is rare and may cause life-threatening haemoptysis. Coil or stent is the main treatment option. We present a case of intrapulmonary pseudoaneurysm located in the fissure between left upper and lower lobes surgically repaired due to the location and the broad base of the pseudoaneurysm.
