Introduction: Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is typically associated with immunocompromised patients, but rare occurrences have been documented in immunocompetent individuals. This presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to atypical presentations and less apparent risk factors.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old Cambodian American female with a history of stable pulmonary nodules and a left neck schwannoma presented with a two-week history of cough and hemoptysis.

Aim: Systemic chemotherapy plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, elderly patients typically have comorbidities that tend to limit the use of chemotherapy at standard dosage and frequency. Drug-eluting bead bronchial arterial chemoembolisation (DEB-BACE)/bronchial arterial chemoembolization (BACE) represents options in such patients.

This study aims to investigate the causes and risk factors of recurrence within 6 months after transcatheter bronchial artery embolization for massive hemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis. A retrospective observational study was conducted on the clinical data of 237 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and massive hemoptysis who relapsed within 6 months after bronchial artery embolization. Univariate analysis was first conducted to screen for risk factors with statistical significance, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to infer the risk factors that might lead to the recurrence of hemoptysis.

Background: Despite the high success rate of bronchial artery embolization (BAE), hemoptysis probably recurs. This study investigated risk factors of 12-month hemoptysis recurrence after BAE in an Iranian population.
Methods: In this prospective cohort, we followed up 101 patients for 12 months after BAE.
