UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Although some authors have suggested that there is some seasonal periodicity in hemoptysis, temporal patterns of hemoptysis have been poorly investigated. The aim of this study is to describe the temporal pattern of severe hemoptysis which required bronchial artery embolization (BAE). METHODS All consecutive patients with at least one episode of hemoptysis which requi...

Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is an uncommon disease, and spontaneous rupture of an ectopic BAA can be difficult for diagnosis and life-threatening. This case study describes a 52-year-old man who presented with acute onset of right chest pain, mild tachycardia, and hypertension. The initial diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction was made, and the patient was given nitroglycerin prior to ad...

BACKGROUND Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening disease, and multiple BAAs are even rarer. Clinically, the tortuous and short neck of a BAA may present significant challenges for invasive intervention. METHODS This report describes the detailed process of diagnosis and treatment and includes a literature review of the etiology, clinical presentation,...

Pseudoaneurysms of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) are a rare pathology. Here we present case patient with non-surgical traumatic subdural hemorrhage, whom was found to have three unruptured aneurysmal lesions along artery. The underwent successful endovascular embolization his MMA and its lesions. This presents unique morphology disease treated safely effectively using embolization.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery rupture can be a lethal complication of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC). Different techniques have been used to manage PAC-induced pulmonary artery rupture, including double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), bronchial blockers, pulmonary artery embolization, thoracotomy with hematoma evacuation, and extracorporeal life support for ventilation (ECLS). Single lumen endo...

PURPOSE To retrospectively assess the value of computed tomographic (CT) bronchial arteriography (BA) with 320-row multidetector CT in the management of patients with recurrent hemoptysis immediately after bronchial artery embolization (BAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 135 consecutive patients treated with BAE between April 2014 and March 2016, recurrent hemoptysis developed in 15, and 10 su...
