Cystic echinococcosis (CE) or hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by ingestion of the eggs of the tapeworm . Larger cysts can cause symptoms by compressing surrounding tissues. Large cysts can also rupture and cause sudden onset of cough, fever, hypersensitivity reactions, and massive hemoptysis. We report a case of hydatid cyst, which caused massive hemoptysis after an urgent percutaneous coronary intervention and was successfully controlled with bronchial artery embolization. < In patients with hydatid cyst, even old lesions, there is a possibility of bleeding and massive hemoptysis after anticoagulation treatment. Bronchial artery embolization is a safe and effective therapy in these situations, when the patient is not a good surgical candidate and the bleeding is life-threatening.>.

A 90-year-old man received a diagnosis of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using an Evolut PRO valve (Medtronic). Plug closure of the pseudoaneurysms was successfully performed, and the symptoms improved after the procedure. However, on postoperative day 4, the patient experienced sudden massive hemoptysis and died.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated chronic fibro-inflammatory condition, that can involve multiple systems. Immunoglobulin G4-related respiratory disease (IgG4-RRD) is relatively rare, with non-specific clinical symptoms. Hemoptysis is a rare clinical symptom of IgG4-RRD, and cases of massive hemoptysis in adults have not been reported.

Pulmonary artery aneurysmal rupture is a rare cause of massive hemoptysis. When the suspected origin of bleeding is the pulmonary artery, comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine aetiology and guide appropriate management. Behçet's disease and Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) are important differentials to consider after infections and malignancy have been ruled out.

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPs) are rare and can occasionally be overlooked as a cause of hemoptysis. The rupture of PAPs may lead to severe and massive hemoptysis and asphyxiation, necessitating prompt and accurate diagnostic measures, including CT angiography, in conjunction with clinical awareness for adequate management. The aim of this pictorial essay is to establish a strategy for endovascular intervention based on a comprehensive understanding of the etiology and hemodynamics of bronchopulmonary circulation for effective and rapid PAP treatment.
