Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Massive haemoptysis is considered to be one of the medical emergencies which have a high mortality if no prompt treatment is initiated. Haemoptysis resulting from pulmonary tuberculosis is one of the commonest etiology in India. Haemoptysis usually originates from systemic arterial supply to the lungs and depending on the severity of the condition, management varies from Bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) to surgery. Case report: Bronchial artery embolisation is a well-established, safe and effective form of medical management for massive and recurrent haemoptysis. In this article, we report our experience in 3 such cases of massive haemoptysis resulting from partially treated and treated pulmonary tuberculosis who were effectively treated with bronchial artery embolisation. Conclusion: Bronchial artery embolisation is a safe and effective procedure to manage massive haemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
