The aneurism was unpacking because of vessel caliper and tortuosity, so why we decided to embolize with Onyx 34 because its capability of occluding feeding vessels, preventing retrograde filling of the aneurysm. In order to avoid vessel dissection, Onyx was released as close as possible to the aneurismatic sac with “plug and push” technique [8]. A safe injection rate of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disease characterised by impaired muco-ciliary clearance. Although the disease affects multiple organs, 85% of mortality results from lung pathology relating to persistent recurrent infections, an exaggerated inflammatory response and progressive airways obstruction which ultimately leads to respiratory failure. Haemoptysis is a common symptom of CF w...

BACKGROUND There are limited series concerning Dieulafoy disease of the bronchus. We describe the clinical presentation of a series of 7 patients diagnosed with Dieulafoy disease of the bronchus and provide information about the pathological diagnosis approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent surgery for massive and unexplained recurrent hemoptysis in a r...

I am very glad to see that Dr Shih et al. reportedmy case of haemomediastinum caused by a ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm [1]. This is one of the bronchial arterial embolisation cases that I performed during October 2006. However, I have to point out a misinterpretation of Fig. 1 of this article [1]. The location the arrow is pointing to is actually the superior vena cava (SVC) with streak a...

BACKGROUND Hemoptysis is a common complication in all kinds of surgery. However, it is rarely critical because it resolves with or without intervention. CASE PRESENTATION Here the authors present what is believed to be an unprecedented report of a case involving a fatal idiopathic bronchial hemorrhage complication during cardiac surgery. Eighty-five-year-old female with severe aorticvalve ste...

OBJECTIVE To appraise the immediate and long-term outcomes of bronchial arterial embolization for life-threatening hemoptysis secondary to tuberculosis. METHODS 112 patients with life-threatening hemoptysis due to tuberculosis underwent bronchial artery embolization from January 2004 to February 2014. Life-threatening hemoptysis was defined as expectoration of at least 400 ml of blood in 24 h...

The main bronchi of excised dog lobes were obstructed with beads, 5 to 6 cm from their origin so that they did not communicate with the peripheral air spaces. Both pulmonary artery and vein were cannulated and both pulmonary vascular pressures were controlled. With the lobe held at constant transpulmonary pressure, bronchial pressure-volume curves were studied during acute pulmonary vascular en...

INTRODUCTION Although the importance of the bronchial arteries is evident in modern day thoracic surgery, the significance of their communications with coronary arteries has yet to be appreciated, especially in cases of heart-lung transplantation and aortic aneurysm repair. We conducted a study to demonstrate the coronary-bronchial anastomotic routes in a porcine model using angiography and com...

SARS-COV-2 has been one of the most massive pandemics in modern history with typical radiological findings. As follow up on patients who have survived this infection rising, newer studies emerged detailing long term sequelae disease and well as its complications. Few COVID-19 pneumonia are lung fibrosis bronchiectasis. Bronchiectatic changes lungs can lead to hemoptysis patient. We present you ...
