Repercussions of a giant major aortopulmonary collateral aneurysm adjacent to vertebral artery origin

Abstract

An aneurysm of major aortopulmonary collateral in an adult with congenital cyanotic heart disease was detected incidentally following a hemoptysis episode. The location and size of the aneurysm needed special concern during treatment to avoid aneurysm-related complications and thromboembolism secondary to intervention.
