Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs) are rare, but important and treatable cause of massive haemoptysis. Minimal data exists on their interventional radiology management due to their rarity, especially direct percutaneous injection. Here, we report our experience of direct percutaneous management of such pseudoaneurysms. Data of patients present...

PTLD results from a complex interplay between organism, host, and environmental factors and affects long-term respiratory health. PTLD is an overlapping spectrum of disorders that affects large and small air...
