Recurrent major haemoptysis: progression to pneumonectomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 50-year-old white man with recurrent major haemoptysis is described. The main problem in management was in detecting the aetiology and source of the haemoptysis. Rigid bronchoscopy is essential in the evaluation and treatment of patients with massive haemoptysis, and once the site of bleeding has been established, pulmonary resection offers the best chance of survival. The operation performed is usually lobectomy, although pneumonectomy, as with our patient, may be necessary.

متن کاملBronchial artery embolisation in the management of chronic recurrent haemoptysis.
1. The clinical indication of BAE in acute major haemoptysis has been well accepted as it might be life-threatening if not promptly controlled. However, the usefulness of BAE in chronic recurrent haemoptysis (defined by the authors as having two episodes within 6 months) is questionable. If the authors wanted to assess the safety and effectiveness of this approach, it would appear more logical ...
