Abstract

A bronchial artery (BA) aneurysm is a rare, life-threatening disease when it ruptures. Recently, we experienced a case of massive hemoptysis due to a BA aneurysm rupture in a pulmonary tuberculosis cavity, treated with BA embolization followed by surgical resection of the cavitary lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a BA aneurysm associated with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis.

기관지 동맥류는 세계적으로 드문 질환으로 파열될 경우 치명적인 출혈을 발생할 수 있다. 저자들은 공동성 결핵 병변에서 발생한 기관지 동맥류의 파열로 대량 객혈이 발생하여 기관지 동맥 색전술과 외과적 절제술로 치료한 환자를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
