Image from a right PA angiogram (top) showing a faint extravascular collection (arrows) adjacent to the right lower lobe PA. The pseudoaneurysm is visualized much better after a selective catheterization arteriogram of the pseudoaneurysm (bottom).

4. Figure 3
Postembolization digital subtraction angiography demonstrates complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm with sparing of the feeding vessel. The subtracted images of the coils within the pseudoaneurysm are easily seen (arrow).

5. Figure 4
Chest radiograph (top) and CT scan of the chest (middle and bottom) performed after embolization demonstrate an effusion (open arrow) and atelectasis (arrow heads) of the right lower lobe. The coils in the pseudoaneurysm are easily identified (curved arrows).
