Abstract
We report the first case of endovascular covered stent implantation for the treatment of a large pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm PAPA following a right thoracic gunshot wound After resuscitation and hemodynamic stabilization a CT angiography was performed to analyze the neck size of the PAPA and its position relative to the branches of the parent artery Covered stent implantation with additional coil embolization was successfully performed At the 4year followup the stents remained patent and there was neither pseudoaneurysm recurrence nor treatmentrelated complicationAll procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards
