Massive Hemoptysis in Previously Treated Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Case Series
Hemoptysis in tuberculosis (TB) is associated with parenchymal distortion and vascular complications linked to prior pulmonary TB. Massive hemoptysis is defined as the expectoration of large volumes of blood. Massive hemoptysis can lead to high morbidity and mortality rates due to hemodynamic instab...

description | Hemoptysis in tuberculosis (TB) is associated with parenchymal distortion and vascular complications linked to prior pulmonary TB. Massive hemoptysis is defined as the expectoration of large volumes of blood. Massive hemoptysis can lead to high morbidity and mortality rates due to hemodynamic instability and airway compromise. In this case series, we present two cases with massive hemoptysis caused by the rupture of the bronchial artery, which achieved hemostasis after fluoroscopy-guided arterial embolization. This series highlights the multiple etiologies of hemoptysis in patients with post-pulmonary TB destruction and the need for various diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Hemoptysis in patients with prior pulmonary TB can be massive and life-threatening. Timely diagnosis, accurate modality to isolate the source, and appropriate intervention could potentially prevent further lethal complications. |
