ObjectivesTo evaluate the risk factors for haemoptysis after cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB), particularly on whether the enlargement of main pulmonary artery diameter (mPAD) is a risk factor for PTNB-related haemoptysis.Methods4,172 cases of CBCT-guided PTNBs in 3,840 patients were retros...

BackgroundBronchial artery embolisation (BAE) is recommended for the treatment of massive haemoptysis in cystic fibrosis (CF), but there are no randomised controlled trials of this therapy and its role in sub-massive haemoptysis is unclear. This study aimed to determine the outcomes and safety of BAE in adults with CF.Materials and MethodsAll patie...

Treatment options for intractable life-threatening haemoptysis in mechanically ventilated patients with structural lung disease who do not respond to bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) and who are deemed unfit for surgery are limited. A 26-year-old HIV-positive male with a poorly preserved CD4 count and active pulmonary tuberculosis was intubated ...

Haemoptysis aetiology is varied and non-cancerous but is life-threatening in cases of pulmonary agenesis and vasculature abnormalities. No cause may be found. Clinicians' investigations and management plans should be based on the established care of haemoptysis. There is no difference between otolaryngologists and respiratory physicians' experience...

PurposeTo test the efficacy of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) to treat haemoptysis in pulmonary hypertension (PH).Methods33 patients were treated by BAE for haemoptysis associated with PH (PH group = 21) or non-associated with PH (control group = 12). The details of procedure, outcome, and rate of relapse were compared between the two groups. ...

This condition is considered an immune-mediated disorder, but its pathogenesis is still unknown. Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is characterized by the classical triad of haemoptysis, iron-deficiency anaemia, and diffuse paren...
