Abstract
Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is one of the pulmonary manifestations of Behçet's disease, with hemoptysis as the primary symptom, carrying a high mortality risk. Treatment options include medical therapy, transcatheter embolization, and surgery. We report a case of a wide-neck PAA in a patient with Behçet's disease who did not respond to immunosuppressive therapy and was successfully treated with endovascular embolization using a vascular plug. The patient remained asymptomatic, with no recurrence of hemoptysis post-procedure. Treatment selection depends on aneurysm characteristics and institutional expertise. Vascular plugs offer a valuable alternative, particularly for wide-neck aneurysms, ensuring effective and durable occlusion.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
