Abstract

Transcatheter embolization was performed with stainless steel coils in a patient with bilateral pulmonary arterial aneurysms of unknown etiology. After a successful initial procedure, endobronchial migration of one of the coils was found which required surgical treatment. Indications of embolization and different types of materials are discussed.
