Massive hematuria successfully treated by bladder irrigations with formalin solution

Massive hemoptysis successfully treated by modified bronchoscopic balloon tamponade technique.

A 60-year-old man with massive hemoptysis was treated successfully by modified bronchoscopic balloon tamponade technique. Compared with previously reported techniques, the modified technique requires no special catheter, no complicated maneuver, and is able to be applied to more massive bleeding.

Renal arteriovenous malformation presenting with massive hematuria

Renal arteriovenous malformations are abnormal communications between the intrarenal arterial and venous systems. They are a rare cause of hematuria. Color Doppler ultrasonography, multislice CT angiography, and DSA are important tools for making the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 62-year-old man with renal arteriovenous malformation who presented with gross hematuria.

Massive hematuria due to bladder amyloidosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: three case reports.

Massive Coronary Air Embolism Treated Successfully by Simple Aspiration by Guiding Catheter

Coronary air embolism remains a recognized complication of coronary catheterization despite a strong emphasis on prevention. It is almost always iatrogenic. It occurs mostly when catheters used for vascular procedures have not been adequately aspirated and flushed. Current treatment consists of supportive measures with 100% oxygen and analgesia and use of aspiration catheter. Here we report a c...
