Interventions of the Pulmonary Arteries

With high risk for surgical management and availability and advances in endovascular techniques, minimally invasive endovascular treatment of pulmonary conditions (like PAVM, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary artery aneurysm, and pseudoaneurysm) is becoming the first-line treatment strategy and also an adjunct to surgical treatment. These endovascular techniques have proven to be safe and effective in treating most of the conditions when performed by experienced interventionalists. Adequate imaging assessment plays an important role in the management of these pulmonary pathologies. In this chapter, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the various pulmonary artery pathologies and their management strategies.
