Abstract

Bronchial artery pseudoaneurysms (BAPs) are rare but potentially fatal vascular anomalies. We present a case of a 21-year-old male soldier who developed a BAP following a fall sustained during a suicide attempt. The BAP was identified on computed tomography angiography (CTA) and successfully treated with trans-arterial glue embolization. The patient's recovery was uncomplicated. To our knowledge, only one prior case of post-traumatic BAP treated with endovascular intervention has been reported in the literature (29 years ago). Due to the risk of significant morbidity and mortality associated with BAP rupture, prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Endovascular embolization is a safe and effective treatment option for BAPs. This case highlights the effectiveness of glue embolization as a treatment modality for BAPs.
