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...

Common complications are multiple septic pulmonary embolisms, haemoptysis, and acute renal failure. Risk factors associated with right-sided infective endo...
