Abstract

The primary cause of hemoptysis is the bronchial artery. However, it should be noted that pulmonary artery and other vessels can cause hemoptysis. If the source of the bleeding is not determined after embolization, other evaluations are needed. Systemic-pulmonary anastomosis and pulmonary artery pseudo-aneurysm are rare vascular abnormalities with varying etiologies. An accurate and rapid diagnosis is needed in hemoptysis, since the cause may be life-threatening. We report a case of a 77-years-old man with persistent hemoptysis due to the right inferior phrenic artery - pulmonary artery anastomosis and pseudoaneurysm. After the embolization of the inferior phrenic artery, the hemoptysis was successfully treated.

객혈의 원인혈관은 대부분 기관지동맥이다. 하지만 다른 전신혈관 및 폐동맥에 의한 객혈도 항상 염두에 둬야하고, 만약 기관지동맥색전술 후 객혈이 지속되거나 기관지동맥에서 출혈의 원인을 찾지 못하면 다른 전신혈관에 대한 검사를 시행하여야 한다. 전신혈관-폐혈관의 문합이나 폐동맥 가성동맥류는 매우 드문 폐혈관질환으로 여러원인에 의해서 발생할 수 있으며, 이로 인한 객혈이 발생할 경우 생명을 위협할 수 있기 때문에 정확하고 빠른 진단과 치료가 필요하다. 저자는 77세 남자로 우하횡경막동맥-폐동맥 문합 및 문합부위 가성동맥류로 인한 지속적인 객혈로 내원하여, 색전술로 성공적으로 치료된 환자를 경험하여 이를 보고한다.
