Coil Migration: From Ruptured Aortic Pseudoaneurysm to Bronchus.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Coil migration is an extremely infrequent finding after aneurysm coil embolisation. This case report presents a rare complication of a ruptured tuberculous aortic pseudoaneurysm that was managed by an endoscopic technique.

Report

A patient presented with a ruptured tuberculous aortic arch pseudoaneurysm after receiving an emergency endovascular repair and aneurysm embolisation. After eight months, the patient returned with the sensation of a foreign body in the larynx.
