Zusammenfassung
Es wird über einen 66-jährigen Mann berichtet, bei dem rezidivierende Lungenembolien auftraten. Phlebografisch wurde ein monströses venöses Aneurysma der rechten Thoraxwand in Kombination mit multiplen Venendilatationen und Kalzifizierungen als Emboliequelle verifiziert. Nach interventionell-radiologischer Embolisation und chirurgischer Ligatur des Aneurysmenhalses traten binnen 23 Monaten Nachbeobachtungszeit unter Antikoagulation weitere Embolien nicht mehr auf.
Abstract
This is a case report about a 66-year old man with recurrent pulmonary embolisms. Phlebography revealed a monstrous venous aneurysm of the right chest wall with several venous dilatations and calcification as the source of the embolism. Radiological embolisation and surgical ligation of the large aneurysmatic neck were performed. No further embolism episodes were registered under anticoagulation during the 23 months of the postoperative follow-up investigation.
