A 70-year-old female was admitted to our hospital after being diagnosed with lung cancer of the left upper lobe and right bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) identified by computed tomographic angiography (CTA). We performed transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using platinum coils. The postoperativeangiogramafterembolizationshowednoresidualarterialflow,and the procedure was successfully finished with total exclusion of the BAAs. Preoperative contrast-enhanced CTA demonstrated multiple BAAs (A/Cover). Due to the high risk status of the patient, TAE was thought to be more appropriate than open surgical repair. The procedure was performed via femoral artery, using Guglielmi Detachable Coils and Interlocking Detachable Coils (Boston Scientific, Natick, Mass). The final angiography during procedure demonstrated complete exclusion of the BAA without any collateral blood flow (B). Postoperative course was uneventful, and she had a left upper lobectomy and was discharged without any complication.
