Abstract
Systemic artery to pulmonary vessel fistula (SAPVF) is an abnormal communication between the systemic arterial circulation and the pulmonary circulation. Most SAPVF are congenital, but some SAPVF may also develop as a consequence of trauma, neoplasm, and inflammation of pleura or lung parenchyma. A 38-year-old man was referred to our department for hemoptysis. He underwent an operation for traumatic diaphragm rupture 16 years ago. Chest CT scan and angiography revealed SAPVF between several intercostal arteries and pulmonary vessels. He had an angiographic transcatheter embolization and the SAPVF disappeared at follow-up chest CT. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of traumatic SAPVF in Korea.
