CASE REPORT

CONTROL OF LIFE THREATENING HEMOPTYSIS UTILIZING ENDOBRONCHIAL TAMPONADE TECHNIQUE

By
Sayed Oraby

We describe a case of one patient with massive hemoptysis who was treated by endobronchial sealing, with n-butyl cyanoacrylate, of the bleeding subsegment. There was an immediate arrest of bleeding without any recurrence for a mean follow-up period of over 90 days.
Endobronchial sealing appears to be an effective method of managing life threatening hemoptysis.

Keywords: Endobronchial sealing, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, hemoptysis, n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
