Scand J Rheumatol. 1996;25(1):58-60. doi: 10.3109/03009749609082670.

Abstract

Arterial manifestations of Behçet's disease carry a particularly poor prognosis, especially pulmonary arterial aneurysms. We report herein the successful embolization of multiple bilateral pulmonary arterial aneurysms in a young Algerian man, whose treatment included corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs.
