N2 - Rupture of the pulmonary artery (PA) or one of its
branches during a right heart catheterization is a complication
that is rare but remains fatal in almost 50 of

by PA rupture, which presented as a lung mass 10 days after
catheterization, that was correctly identified and successfully
treated.
