Sudden hemoptysis originating from spontaneous right bronchial artery bleeding during arterial duct closure in an adult patient with chronic myeloid leukemia

Abstract

Abstract Adult patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) have a higher procedural risk during transcatheter PDA closures than infants and children. Limited information is available on transcatheter occlusion in patients with PDA and concomitant comorbidities such as leukemia. We report a case of a 32‐year‐old man with chronic myeloid leukemia who developed sudden hemoptysis during PDA catheter closure. Immediate treatment involved embolization of a bleeding bronchial artery with polyvinyl alcohol particles. The patient successfully underwent PDA closure and hematopoietic cell transplantation 3 months later. This case emphasizes the importance of evaluating fragile vasculature in patients with comorbid chronic diseases.
