title: [Hemoptysis revealing pulmonary artery aneurysm associated with intracardiac thrombosis: a delicate anticoagulation situation (a case report of Behçet's disease)].
abstract: Behçet's disease is a vasculitis affecting both arteries and veins. Cardiac involvement is less well known. The association of an aneurysm of the pulmonary artery and intracardiac thrombosis is rare, and a therapeutic challenge. We report the case of a 26-year-old patient hospitalized for moderately abundant hemoptysis and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III dyspnea, which illustrates the difficulty encountered when using anticoagulants in this complex situation.
