Selective pulmonary artery occlusion to treat hemoptysis associated with pulmonary venous obstruction
Hemoptysis may occur in patients with pulmonary venous obstruction and prominent decompressing vessels in the airways adjacent to the affected pulmonary veins. The options for treatment of hemoptysis are limited, particularly when efforts to alleviate pulmonary venous obstruction have failed. Here w...

| description | Hemoptysis may occur in patients with pulmonary venous obstruction and prominent decompressing vessels in the airways adjacent to the affected pulmonary veins. The options for treatment of hemoptysis are limited, particularly when efforts to alleviate pulmonary venous obstruction have failed. Here we describe a patient with hemoptysis associated with stenosis of the central left upper pulmonary vein and occlusion of the central left lower pulmonary vein. The left upper pulmonary vein was dilated with balloon catheters and a vascular plug was placed in the left lower pulmonary artery. Vascular engorgement regressed in the left bronchus and hemoptysis has not recurred for 4 years despite recurrence of left upper pulmonary vein stenosis. Selective occlusion of branch pulmonary arteries may be an effective option for the treatment of hemoptysis from bleeding in lung segments with inoperable pulmonary venous obstruction. |
