[Hemoptysis caused by a bronchial artery aneurysm. Apropos a case].
We discuss the case of a right bronchial artery aneurysm in its intrapulmonary trajectory which manifested itself by repeated mild hemoptysis. Diagnosis was made through selective angiography of bronchial artery and during the same procedure it was treated through transcatheter embolization. We have reviewed the literature and found 17 cases of bronchial artery aneurysms with intrapulmonary or mediastinal localization.
