Article Synopsis
- A 51-year-old man experienced two weeks of coughing up blood (hemoptysis) and was found to have a fistula between the bronchial and pulmonary arteries in his right upper lobe via pulmonary angiography.
- Despite undergoing angioembolization, the bleeding returned a year later, likely due to blood flowing backward from the pulmonary artery.
- To resolve the issue, the patient underwent surgery to remove the right upper lobe (lobectomy), which successfully stopped the bleeding.
