Endovascular treatment of a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm caused by Swan-Ganz catheter deployment in an anticoagulated patient

We present a case report of an anticoagulated 78-year-old male presenting with a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm following Swan-Ganz catheter deployment after an aortic valve and aortic root replacement. The diagnosis was established by cone-beam CT and catheter angiography, and embolization was achieved via a combination of plug and glue. This case emphasizes the importance of endovascular techniques in the management of iatrogenic pulmonary pseudoaneurysms and shows the benefit of using highly haemostatic polymeric agent in anticoagulated patients to obtain a rapid and effective occlusion.
