title: Percutaneous management of segmental pulmonary artery aneurysm in a patient without pulmonary artery hypertension.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this article is to report the percutaneous management of a case of idiopathic segmental pulmonary artery aneurysm (SPAA) in a patient without pulmonary arterial hypertension.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 69-year-old female was referred for the evaluation of an incidental finding of a solitary right pulmonary nodule on chest radiograph (CR). Chest computed tomography and pulmonary arteriogram findings were consistent with a solitary SPAA. Successful percutaneous endovascular coil occlusion of the SPAA was performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Segmental pulmonary artery aneurysm considered on CR should be confirmed on initial contrast chest computed tomography.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular coil occlusion is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for idiopathic SPAA.
