Abstract |
A pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm developed after placement of a Swan-Ganz catheter for liver surgery is described. This observation is unusual for two reasons. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm was discovered on a simple post-operative chest radiograph. Spontaneous thrombosis and radiographic regression were observed.
