Abstract
Pulmonary artery aneurysms are frequently managed with endovascular embolization. Rare but serious complications of coil embolization are erosion and migration of the coils into the adjacent airways, posing a risk for massive hemoptysis. We report the case of a medically complex patient with a left main pulmonary artery aneurysm treated with coil embolization who ultimately experienced transbronchial migration and expectoration of the coil. We discuss the challenging anesthetic and surgical management of these serious complications, including the use of an endovascular plug to occlude the erosion site and distal airways.
期刊介绍：
A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
