title: Pulmonary Vein Pseudoaneurysm Secondary to Blunt Trauma: A Novel Management Strategy.
abstract: Traumatic pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare condition that is challenging to manage. We present a unique case of a pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm from blunt trauma in a patient with previous ipsilateral decortication. The patient was treated with percutaneous transparenchymal access to the pulmonary vein pseudoaneurysm.
