Late Onset Pulmonary Complications After Bronchoscopic Coil Lung Volume Reduction

Abstract

Other advantages of Arista AH include simplicity of use, low cost, and widespread availability in hospital operating rooms.Recent publications have described the use of Arista AH powder for endoscopic sinus surgery, 7 neurosurgery, 8 prostatectomy with lymphadenectomy 9 all resulting in reduced bleeding. To our knowledge, this is the first case of the endobronchial use of Arista AH. In this case, it was a life-saving measure after exhaustion of the other more traditional therapies. The use of this hemostatic proved to be useful and merits further consideration in the treatment of refractory life-threatening hemoptysis.
