Abstract
We present a case of right completion pneumonectomy for a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm after right upper lobectomy and radiotherapy for metachronous multiple right lung cancers. An 80-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of repeated hemoptysis. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm in an interlobar pulmonary artery. We considered hemoptysis as a sign of impending rupture. Radiologists could not recommend embolization because of a high risk of rupture or pulmonary infarction, and re-hemoptysis due to coil movement; therefore, we performed right completion pneumonectomy because of severe adhesion. At last, the patient has completely recovered from impending rupture status.
