Popis: Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms are rare causes of massive hemoptysis, even less common in setting of COVID-19 pneumonia. We describe and discuss an index case of cavitating COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm without concomitant pulmonary thromboembolism. The patient presented with severe hemoptysis and was managed by endovascular coil embolization. Good technical and clinical success was achieved with complete resolution of hemoptysis.
