A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital for an abnormal chest shadow. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed 2-humped bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) associated with racemose hemangioma. The combined therapy of transcatheter bronchial artery embolization and thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed. Postoperative CT confirmed the complete exclusion of the aneurysms with no evidence of an endoleak. Our result suggests that this combined therapy is a safe and effective treatment for BAA.
