[Two cases of recurrent, massive hemoptysis with contralateral, concurrent hemoptysis].

Bilateral, concurrent massive hemoptysis with respiratory failure is rare and difficult to manage. We encountered two patients with this condition. One was a 51-year-old woman and one was a 63-year-old woman. Both had inactive pulmonary tuberculosis and episodes of hemoptysis. Home oxygen therapy was prescribed to the former patient and bronchial artery embolization was done in the latter. The sites of initial bleeding were in the left basal segment and in the lingular segment. Bleeding was well controlled by endobronchial tamponade with a Fogarty balloon catheter in the left main bronchus, contralateral intubation, and systemic artery embolization. Use of water instead of air in the balloon was more effective in over the long term. Concurrent bleeding from the contralateral upper lobe bronchus was controlled by compression with a tracheal tube cuff at the bronchial orifice. Afterward, an infiltrative shadow was seen on the chest X-ray film and hemoptysis occurred in case 2 occurred in case 2. Treatment with erythromycin and antituberculosis drugs brought about improvement of chest X-ray findings and disappearance of the hemoptysis.
