Abstract

An 82-year-old male was admitted due to mild chest discomfort. Enhanced computed tomography showed a large bronchial artery aneurysm(BAA) of 26×27 mm at the left hilus. To avoid the rupture of BAA, coil embolization alone was performed. There has been no enlargement of BAA for these 4 years. In general, coil embolization only should be indicated in a patient with BAA with a stalk because of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) being off-label and low cost performance. TEVAR would be considered as a last resort only in case of enlarging BAA even after coil embolization.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
