Management considerations of massive hemoptysis while on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is a life-saving procedure in patients with both respiratory and cardiac failure. Bleeding complications are common since patients must be maintained on anticoagulation.

Control of massive hemoptysis via a “back-door” approach through the pulmonary artery
Radiology Case Reports, 2016 Bronchial artery embolization is an effective nonsurgical therapy for massive hemoptysis. Routine selection of the bronchial arteries from the aorta usually enables the interventionalist full interrogation and embolization of the culprit vascular ...

Risk factors for hemoptysis in idiopathic and hereditary pulmonary arterial hypertension. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 INTRODUCTION: When hemoptysis complicates pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), it is assumed to result from bronchial artery hypertrophy. In heritable PAH, the most common mutation is in the BMPR2 gene, which regulates growth, differentiation and ...
