Endovascular Treatment of a Ruptured Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Behcet's Disease Using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4

ABSTRACT

A pulmonary artery aneurysm is a common manifestation and the leading cause of mortality in Behcet's disease. We describe a case of spontaneous rupture of a pulmonary artery aneurysm that, due to the inadequacy of medical therapy and the disadvantages of surgery, became the ideal candidate for endovascular management and was successfully performed by using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug 4.
