Abstract

The authors report a case of endobronchial migration of a POD packing coil following embolization of a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with cavitary tuberculosis and its successful management by bronchoscopy-assisted removal of the coil. Coil migration may be secondary to continued cough and persistence of a bronchial to pulmonary artery fistula from tuberculous infection and inflammation.
