Stenting as a Rescue Treatment of a Pulmonary Artery False Aneurysm Caused by Swan-Ganz Catheterization

Figure 2

Stent graft implantation for the treatment of pulmonary artery false aneurysm. (a) False aneurysm was treated by the implantation of two coronary stent grafts to exclude the false aneurysm from the pulmonary artery. (b) Pulmonary angiography showed excellent result with unrestricted blood flow into the periphery while bleeding was stopped. (c) After 3 months there was a completely thrombotic false aneurysm without extravasation of contrast media. The pulmonary artery was obstructed at the level of the implanted stent grafts.
