Arteriogram revealing the tortuosity, dilation and hypertrophy of the right bronchial arteries (a). Aneurysms (yellow arrow) of the internal thoracic artery before (b) and after (c) metal coil embolization. Three-dimensional image shows aneurysms embolized by a metal coil (yellow arrow) (d). Bronchoscopy was used to remove blood clots (g), as confirmed by pathological examination (h), that were blocking the right-sided mainstem bronchus (e) and upper lobe bronchus (f). Chest radiograph indicates reexpansion of the right lung after removal of the clots (i). Follow-up CT shows the metal coil (yellow arrow) and the right lung returned to normal (j axial views; k coronal views)
