Abstract

This case report describes the successful angiographic treatment of a bronchial to pulmonary artery fistula in a 43-year-old male with a history of right testicular cancer. The patient was found to have a pulmonary vascular anomaly during preoperative evaluation for an abdominal hernia repair. Imaging confirmed a bronchial to pulmonary artery fistula, which was effectively managed through selective embolization using arterial and venous catheters for previous diagnostic angiography.
