Digital subtraction angiography is an indispensable complement to cut film studies for the detection of pulmonary artery injury. Immediate transcatheter embolization of catheter-induced pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm is a safe, minimally invasive, fast, and cost-effective alternative to surgical treatment.
