title: Bronchial artery pseudoaneurysm with symptomatic mediastinal hematoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the rare finding of bronchial artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms as well as describing available endovascular treatment options.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 61-year-old male presented to the emergency department and was found to have a paraesophageal hematoma and 1cm bronchial artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient was taken for successful endovascular exclusion by embolization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bronchial artery pseudoaneurysms are rare but have a chance of rupture. Percutaneous embolization is a reasonable treatment option for these patients.
