    AbstractA 74-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of sudden onset of chest pain and dyspnea. The chest X-ray film revealed left hemothorax. Chest computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed left hemothorax and excluded the possibility of aortic dissection and aneurysm of the aorta. But the presence of some vascular mass, about 20 mm in diameter, was suspected at subcarina. Three-dimensional (3D) -CT confirmed a definitive diagnosis of ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was performed. We report a case of ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm complicated by life-threatening massive bleeding and resembling a clinical picture of aortic dissection.
