TIPS AND TRICKS
Reconstructive Therapy
Preprocedural neck CTA (extending to the aortic arch) can help in
identifying the culprit lesion, vessel tortuosity, and preexisting ipsilateral and contralateral occlusions, in addition to planning stent sizing.
When placing a covered stent across the bifurcation, embolization of
the ECA before stent deployment reduces risks of repeated/continued hemorrhage from collateral filling.
Endoleaks are often encountered involving stent placement along the
carotid bulb due to its anatomical curvature. Planned use of NBCA from a second access could be considered in these cases.
Given the increased incidence of recurrent hemorrhages, consider
closer imaging follow-up, aggressive reintervention, and broader stent graft coverage on initial placement.
In cases with wound exposure, prophylactic and therapeutic
antibiotics are suggested to decrease the risk of infection.
As the patient’s clinical condition allows, an antiplatelet regimen is
recommended before and after covered stent placement due to the associated risk of thromboembolic phenomenon.
Deconstructive Therapy
Preprocedural imaging can help define anatomy, identify the
causative source, and assist in overall procedure planning.
When embolizing the ECA and its branches, primary placement of
coils followed by liquid embolic agents provide an effective combination to achieve hemostasis.
Embolization should always be performed distal and proximal to
exclude potential collateral filling.
BOT or angiographic evaluation of adequate contralateral cerebral
collateralization is crucial before ICA or CCA embolization to assess the risk of permanent neurologic sequelae.
In cases of permanent ICA occlusion, embolization should begin at
the petrous or cavernous segment if possible. This reduces potential dead space (with the potential formation of a column of clot above the occlusion site) and allows for the ophthalmic artery to fill the remainder of the ICA in a retrograde fashion.
General
Many times, the patient will present with complicated airway
management given the nature of the disease. Adequate resuscitation with appropriate inotrope usage is critical to help maintain cerebral perfusion in the setting of deconstructive therapy of the CCA/ICA.

Hemoptysis

Miguel A. De Gregorio • Alicia Laborda
assive hemoptysis, also known as life-threatening hemoptysis, is a serious, critical condition that necessitates urgent assessment and
treatment of the patient. Despite advances in the treatment of massive hemoptysis, it still imposes a high-risk condition. According to published data, in any given year, 28% of pulmonologists witness a case of death due to massive hemoptysis.
1
The lungs receive blood from the pulmonary artery and bronchial systems under normal conditions. In pathologic situations, systemic arteries can penetrate into the lung and irrigate contained injuries. The low-pressure pulmonary system tends to produce small-volume hemoptysis, whereas bleeding from the bronchial system, which shares systemic pressure, tends to be profuse.
2
Conservative medical treatment of patients with expectoration of 300 to 600 mL of blood per day is associated with mortality in 50% to 100% of the
patients affected,3 with asphyxia rather than hemorrhage commonly being the cause of death.4 Although surgical treatment of massive hemoptysis is
associated with mortality rates between 7.1% and 18.2%, it can reach up to 40% when surgery is performed urgently.
5
Since embolization of the bronchial artery was first described by Remy et al.6 in 1973, it has become the main option for the treatment of massive hemoptysis, either at first presentation or in case of recurrence. Various studies have demonstrated its effectiveness, safety, and usefulness.
715
However, surgery plays an important role in the treatment of massive hemoptysis caused by certain diseases, such as pulmonary hydatidosis, bronchial adenoma, and aspergilloma that is refractory to other treatments.
16
In such cases, prior urgent bronchial artery embolization facilitates surgical treatment and improves results because it allows scheduled rather than urgent surgery to be undertaken.5 Surgery also represents the treatment of choice when bronchial artery embolization fails repeatedly or is insufficient to control massive life-threatening hemorrhage.
17
Currently, when embolization of the bronchial artery fails, the use of endoscopically implanted thrombin preparations has been proposed on the basis of its high success rate.

CLINICAL BACKGROUND AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Most hemoptysis are generally small, do not require urgent action, and can be treated medically. It is crucial to differentiate hematemesis from hemoptysis. Before assuming a lower respiratory source of the bleeding, it is important to consider whether the blood may be coming from a nonpulmonary source, such as the upper airway or the gastrointestinal tract. Alkaline pH, foaminess, or the presence of pus may sometimes suggest the lungs as the primary source of bleeding rather than the stomach.
Other data such as age, nutritional status, and comorbidities may assist to the diagnosis and management of hemoptysis.
Epistaxis or expectoration without cough suggests that the source of bleeding is in the upper respiratory tract, whereas expectoration accompanied by cough indicates bleeding from the lower bronchial tree.
19
It is difficult to quantify the amount of blood expectorated. In general, patients tend to overestimate, and besides, it is difficult to quantify the amount of blood retained in the alveolar space and the bronchial tree.
Clinical symptoms depend on several factors such as the underlying disease and causes of hemoptysis and the importance and amount of bleeding. Fever, hypoxia, tachycardia, and tachypnea are going to be the most important symptoms that may accompany a hemoptysis. The final cause of death in hemoptysis is not hypovolemia due to blood loss but asphyxiation by drowning.
ETIOLOGY
There are many causes of hemoptysis. Their frequency has varied with time. In the past, lung tuberculosis was the first and main cause, but the main cause nowadays is bronchiectasis. Salajka20 has summarized the main hemoptysis causes in the acronym BATTLE CAMP (Table 18.1).
Hemoptysis, which can be life threatening, complicates the course of 50% to 85% of patients with an aspergilloma.21 Tuberculosis can cause massive hemoptysis through multiple mechanisms: active cavitary or noncavitary lung disease can cause small or large amounts of bleeding. Active disease can cause sudden rupture of a Rasmussen aneurysm (aneurysm of the pulmonary artery that slowly expands into an adjacent
cavity because of inflammatory erosion of the external vessel wall until it bursts).
21
Many inflammatory or immune disorders can produce hemoptysis, such as Goodpasture syndrome, idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, lupus pneumonitis, and Wegener granulomatosis. Other clinical situations can also explain a hemoptysis: coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia, or use of anticoagulants.
Iatrogenic etiology, especially due to either percutaneous or transbronchial lung biopsy, is a cause of hemoptysis, which is usually minor and transient and occurs in 5% to 10% of percutaneous lung biopsies, but massive hemorrhage and death have also been reported. Hemoptysis has been described in 6% of habitual smokers of free-base cocaine (“crack”) and has been associated with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage.
When hemoptysis is recurrent and coincident with menstruation, it can be caused by intrathoracic endometriosis, usually involving the pulmonary parenchyma but occasionally affecting the airways.
21
As it has already been commented previously, blood can come from the pulmonary artery. The main causes of pulmonary origin are as follows: pulmonary embolism; pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, either with or without underlying Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome; and elevated pulmonary capillary pressure (mitral stenosis, significant left ventricular failure, congenital heart disease, severe pulmonary hypertension). Pulmonary artery perforation from a Swan-Ganz catheter can also produce hemoptysis.
Depending on the study, up to 30% of patients with hemoptysis have no cause identified even after careful evaluation. In a series of 67 patients with cryptogenic hemoptysis, prognosis was generally good, and most patients had resolution of bleeding within 6 months of evaluation.
22
In our series23 of 314 patients, the most frequent causes of massive hemoptysis were bronchiectasis (31.5%), followed by acute tuberculosis or scar tissue caused by tuberculosis (18.1%) and chronic bronchitis (14.9%). Other causes are shown in Table 18.2.
Multislice computed tomography (CT) represents the technique of choice for the etiologic diagnosis of nonmassive hemoptysis. Together with fiber bronchoscopy, they can settle down a very high percentage of the most important and severe causes of hemoptysis. Nevertheless, the use of the CT and the fiber bronchoscopy is discussed in acute massive hemoptysis, where arteriography can establish the diagnosis with good precision and, at the same time, contribute to its treatment.
