Article Abstract

Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is an effective treatment for hemoptysis, with potential complications including pain and spinal ischemia. We report a rare case in which the right bronchial artery communicated with the right intercostal arteries, and the right intercostal artery had an anastomosis with the right vertebral artery. Additionally, the left bronchial artery was found to have a connection with the left vertebral artery.

We previously demonstrated the CFTR correctors VX-445 (elexacaftor) and S-VX-121 (vanzacaftor) potentiate heterologously-expressed BK channels, as well as in primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEs). This potentiation of BK resulted in altered vasoreactivity and neuronal excitability. We postulated novel compounds could be identified that would potentiate BK while not affecting CFTR.

Pulmonary aspergilloma can cause life-threatening haemoptysis. Surgical resection and/or bronchial artery embolization (BAE) are established treatment modalities, but both can be risky in frail patients with comorbidities. Spontaneous regression of aspergilloma with antifungal agents alone is rare.

Pulmonary aspergilloma is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition that predominantly affects individuals with pre-existing structural lung disease and immunosuppression. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially with long-term immunosuppressive therapy, significantly increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections, including fungal pathogens such as species. These patients are also at heightened risk for a broad range of opportunistic infections, such as species, viral infections such as herpes zoster and cytomegalovirus (CMV), , and pneumonia (PJP).

Background: To explore the short-term prognosis, mid- and long-term clinical follow-up of bronchoscopic intervention therapy (BIT) combined with bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in the treatment of massive hemoptysis.

Methods: Patients with massive hemoptysis who received BAE (BAE group) or BAE combined with BIT (BAE & BIT group) based on standard clinical treatment were included retrospectively, during June 2022 and March 2023. The short-term prognosis assessed by the therapeutic response, hemoptysis recurrence rates at 1-month post-surgery, and postoperative complications were compared.
