    Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs) are rare but can cause life-threatening hemoptysis, especially post-embolization of systemic arteries.

  • 2

    Etiologies of PAPs include trauma, malignancy, bronchiectasis, and COVID-19, necessitating tailored treatment approaches.

  • 3

    Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is essential for diagnosing PAPs and informing treatment plans based on etiology and anatomy.

  • 4

    Treatment options for PAPs include surgical resection, endovascular embolization, and medical management, with individualized plans recommended.

  • 5

    Endovascular embolization is crucial for hemostasis in PAP cases, particularly when the pseudoaneurysm is not visible on standard pulmonary arteriography.
