# A Case of Comprehensive Interventional Therapy for Bronchial Thromboembolism Caused by Hemoptysis

## TL;DR

A patient with severe lung bleeding due to abnormal blood vessels was successfully treated using a new method to remove large clots.

## Contribution

The use of cryoextraction for rapid removal of endobronchial clots in massive hemoptysis is presented as a novel intervention.

## Key findings

- Cryoextraction enabled rapid en-bloc removal of arborizing endobronchial casts.
- The intervention led to prompt radiographic resolution of lobar collapse.
- Emergent embolization was necessary to address dual bronchial artery malformations.

## Abstract

Massive hemoptysis from dual bronchial artery malformations necessitated emergent embolization. Extensive jelly‐like endobronchial clots caused complete lobar collapse refractory to suction. We used cryoextraction to achieve rapid en‐bloc removal of arborizing casts with prompt radiographic resolution.

We report the case of a patient with massive hemoptysis from dual bronchial artery malformations that necessitated emergent embolization. Extensive jelly‐like endobronchial clots caused complete lobar collapse refractory to suction. We used cryoextraction to achieve rapid, en‐bloc removal of arborizing casts with prompt radiographic resolution.
