Abstract

Hemoptysis, accompanying various chronic lung diseases, some systemic diseases, infections, structural heart diseases, or syndromes is a clinical condition that is quite mortal when it is massive. Hemoptysis is a common complication of Eisenmenger syndrome. Its frequency increases with age. It is an important cause of mortality in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. Embolization of systemic-pulmonary collateral arteries is an effective method in the treatment of hemoptysis in eligible patients with Eisenmenger syndrome. In this case report, a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome, developed due to large patent ductus arteriosus, received dual pulmonary arterial hypertension-specific treatment, after the development of hemoptysis, medical stabilization was provided with initial inhaled nitric oxide therapy and then treated with bronchial artery embolization without complications is presented.
