Extreme recurrent massive hemoptysis in a cystic fibrosis patient requiring 22 separate embolization procedures prior to lung transplantation: A case report.

ABSTRACT: While bronchial artery embolization is an established, safe, and effective treatment for massive hemoptysis from a variety of causes including cystic fibrosis, patients rarely require more than 2 angiography and embolization treatments during their lifetime. We present a rare case of massive, recurrent hemoptysis requiring a total of 22 angiography and embolization procedures over a period of 8 years, prior to the patient receiving a double lung transplant.
