Zusammenfassung:Background Pulmonary pseudoaneurysm (PAP) is a fatal complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus 2 infections in the lungs. Other causative agent such as fungal and tubercular also responsible for this entity. Early detection and treatment can save a patient’s life. Case presentation Here we describe a case of a left pulmonary artery pseudo aneurysm in a 54-year-old patient with COVID-19 pneumonia who presented with massive hemoptysis and which was treated with endovascular embolization. Conclusion It is caused by vasculopathy due to immunosuppression /immune dysregulation in COVID-19. Minimally invasive endovascular embolization of pseudoaneurysm carries less mortality and morbidity.
