Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of massive hemoptysis remain challenging. We report a 28-year-old woman with refractory massive hemoptysis caused by a mediastinal hemangioma. Despite multiple bronchial artery embolizations and fiberoptic bronchoscopy treatments, effective control of the bleeding and clearing of the airway was not possible. Finally, with the support of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, mediastinal hemangioma resection and right upper lobe sleeve resection were simultaneously performed. During the operation, many blood clots in the airway were removed. The airway bleeding was effectively controlled, and the patient recovered.
