Ann Thorac Surg. 1999 Mar;67(3):854-5. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(98)01347-2.

Abstract

Two patients with giant bronchial artery aneurysm at the origin of the bronchial artery from the descending aorta were successfully treated. Both of them had been given a diagnosis of bronchiectasis and found with hemoptysis. One was a 64-year-old woman treated with transcatheter arterial embolization, and the other was a 64-year-old woman treated with surgical ligation.
