Massive Haemoptysis Treated with Bronchial Artery Embolisation in COVID-19 Infection

BACKGROUND: Massive haemoptysis is a rare symptom ofcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Management can be very challenging due to the lack of clear recommendations. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of massive recurrent haemoptysis in a young patient who tested positive for COVID-19 with successfu...

description BACKGROUND: Massive haemoptysis is a rare symptom ofcoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Management can be very challenging due to the lack of clear recommendations. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a case of massive recurrent haemoptysis in a young patient who tested positive for COVID-19 with successful management using endovascular embolization. DISCUSSION: Life-threatening massive haemoptysis has rarely been reported as the only manifestation of COVID-19. Embolisation was the therapeutic option chosen to manage this emergency. LEARNING POINTS: Haemoptysis is a rare atypical presentation that can reveal COVID-19, highlighting the complexity of its pathogenesis. Atypical manifestations should raise suspicion for COVID-19. In this patient with COVID-19, life-threatening massive haemoptysis was successfully treated with endovascular embolisation.
