Abstract
Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease (BDD), remains poorly understood, with only 88 cases reported globally. Herein, we present the largest case series (n = 7) from a single centre, between 2017 and 2023, retrospectively reviewed, detailing clinical presentations, diagnoses, management and up to 4-year follow-up outcomes. Diagnosis relied on characteristic lesions detected through white light bronchoscopy with or without endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) or narrow band imaging (NBI), along with computed tomography (CT) scans or bronchial angiography. Identification of aberrant vessels beneath lesions and bronchoscopy details were documented. Treatment modalities and follow-up outcomes until December 2023 were noted. All patients were non-smokers. Review of imaging findings by an experienced radiologist was crucial in suspected cases due to risk of bleeding and often unconclusive results from biopsy. Management of BDD varied, with six patients undergoing bronchial artery embolization (BAE) and one requiring lobectomy; four patients received additional endobronchial therapy, one died due to malignancy, none experienced recurrence of haemoptysis. Identifying patients with large volume haemoptysis disproportionate to parenchymal disease in CT scans is important. A bronchoscopic surveillance is crucial to avoid biopsy; it can be confirmed using EBUS of NBI. While no established guidelines exist, BAE and endobronchial therapy emerge as valuable interventions, with surgical resection reserved for recurrent cases.

J Cardiothorac Surg 2023; 18:207. [PMID: 37403165 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-023-02242-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus can cause massive and even fatal hemoptysis. Even though it is rare, it should be considered by physicians all over the world. This paper reports a case of bronchial Dieulafoy's disease and summarizes the data of similar cases reported in literature. METHODS We report a case of bronchial Dieulafoy's disease (BDD) in Tunisia. We also present a review of literature related to BDD from 1995 to 2022 using the PubMed, Google Scholar, web of science and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure Databases. Clinical characteristics, chest imaging, bronchoscopic and angiographic findings were summarized. Treatment courses were identified as well as patients' outcome. RESULTS We report the case of a 41-year-old man, so far in good health, presenting with massive hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy showed blood clots and a protruding lesion covered by mucosa with a white pointed cap at the entrance of the right upper lobe. Biopsies were not attempted. Embolization of bronchial artery was first realized and was not successful, with post procedure complications. Surgical intervention stopped the bleeding and pathological examination of the resected specimen confirmed Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus. Ninety cases of BDD were reported from 1995 to 2022. The main symptom was hemoptysis. Chest imaging findings were not specific. The diagnosis of BDD was mainly based on the bronchoscopy, branchial angiography and pathological findings or surgical specimens. Bronchoscopy findings were mostly nodular or prominent lesions (52.4%). Twenty-eight patients underwent bronchoscopic biopsies, 20 had massive bleeding and 10 died. Bronchial angiography mainly showed tortuous and dilation of bronchial artery, and the lesions were mainly located in the right bronchus. Selective bronchial artery embolization (SBAE) was performed in 32 patients and 39 patients underwent surgery. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the first case of bronchial Dieulafoy's disease to be reported in Tunisia and North Africa. When the diagnosis is suspected, bronchoscopic biopsy should be avoided as it might lead to fatal hemorrhage. Selective bronchial artery embolization can stop the bleeding, but surgery can be required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease (BDD) is a rare disease that causes massive hemoptysis. This paper reports a case of BDD treated surgically. At the same time, we summarize the data of BDD patients reported in domestic and foreign literature to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of this disease. METHODS A case of BDD with hemoptysis during bronchoscopy was reported. In addition, we searched for "bronchial Dieulafoy disease" through Pubmed, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang databases, covering the literature related to BDD that was definitely diagnosed or highly suspected from January 1995 to December 2021, and summarized the clinical characteristics, chest imaging, bronchoscopic manifestations, angiographic characteristics, pathological characteristics, treatment and outcome of patients. RESULTS The patient was a 68 year old male. Tracheoscopy revealed nodular and mass like changes in the basal segment of the left lower lobe, which appeared massive hemorrhage when touching the surface. The computed tomography angiophy of the bronchial artery confirmed that the branches of the left bronchial artery were tortuous and dilated, and then the left lower lobe of the lung was resected. During the operation, 3 thick tortuous nutrient artery vessels were sent out from the descending aorta, and 1 thick tortuous nutrient artery was sent out from the autonomic arch. All of them were ligated and cut. The pathology after the operation was in accordance with BDD; The patient did not have hemoptysis after discharge and is still under follow-up. The database identified 65 articles from January 1995 to December 2021. After removing repeated reports, meetings, incomplete information and nursing literature, 60 articles were included to report 88 cases of BDD. BDD can occur at all ages, with a male to female ratio of about 1.6:1. It mainly starts with hemoptysis, and can also be seen due to cough, infection, and respiratory failure; Inflammatory changes such as pulmonary patch shadow, exudation shadow and ground glass shadow of pulmonary hemorrhage were more common in chest imaging; The diagnosis of BDD is mainly based on the bronchoscopy, bronchial angiography and pathological findings of surgical or autopsy specimens. Bronchoscopic findings were mostly non pulsating, smooth nodular or mucosal processes. Bronchial angiography mainly showed tortuous dilatation of bronchial artery, and the lesions were mainly located in the right bronchus, more from the bronchial artery; Diagnosis depends on pathology, showing submucosal expansion of bronchus or abnormal artery rupture and bleeding; 54 cases underwent selective bronchial artery embolization, 39 cases underwent pulmonary lobectomy, 66 cases improved, and 10 cases died (all of them were caused by massive hemorrhage during bronchoscopic biopsy). CONCLUSION BDD is rare, but may cause fatal massive hemoptysis. Bronchial angiography is considered to be an effective method to diagnose BDD. Since pathological biopsy may lead to fatal bleeding, the necessity of pathological diagnosis remains controversial. Interventional and surgical treatment plays an important role in patients with cough accompanied by massive hemoptysis.

Abstract
Dieulafoy's disease is characterized by abnormal submucosal arteries and results in acute luminal hemorrhage. Dieulafoy's lesions can also be found in the submucosa of the bronchus. Due to its low incidence rate and non-specific clinical symptoms, Dieulafoy's disease is easy to overlook, but can lead to massive bleeding and high rates of mortality. Therefore, improvements in the understanding of the disease are necessary. The awareness of the disease and associated diagnostic and treatment techniques have continued to improve, and thus, an increasing number of cases of Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus have been reported. In the present review, 74 cases of Dieulafoy's disease are summarized. New technologies such as endobronchial ultrasound, narrow-band imaging, angiography and argon plasma treatment have been found to be increasingly applied to diagnose and treat Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus. Therefore, the primary focus of this systematic review is to highlight advances in the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial Dieulafoy's disease.

Abstract
Background Massive hemoptysis due to aspergilloma is a rare but life-threatening complication. Bronchial artery embolization is recommended as a definitive treatment for massive hemoptysis. Polyvinyl alcohol is widely used in bronchial artery embolization. A very small number of studies have reported disrupted polyvinyl alcohol, which may cause ectopic embolism. Case presentation This case highlights an unusual phenomenon in which polyvinyl alcohol fragments appeared on pathological examination in a 61-year-old man, ethnic Han, with massive hemoptysis caused by aspergilloma for whom bronchial artery embolization failed. Lobectomy was carried out successfully. Hematoxylin and eosin stain provides clear images of polyvinyl alcohol fragments, while alpha-smooth muscle cell actin and cluster of differentiation-34 immunohistochemistry revealed their localization in bronchioles. Conclusion Thus far, only two cases of polyvinyl alcohol fragments in the lung have been reported, and the mechanism has not been elucidated. These two cases revealed no counter-indication for the use of polyvinyl alcohol. However, in some cases of off-target embolization causing fatal complications, such as stroke, paraplegia, and myocardial, polyvinyl alcohol fragmentation needs to be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Background: Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease (BDD), characterized by constant diameter arterial malformation, is rare, especially among infants. The pathogenesis and clinical features of pediatric patients are unknown. Misdiagnosis and biopsy operations may lead to potential massive hemorrhage, which endangers the patient's life. Case Presentation: Here, we present a case of a 9-month-old boy who was diagnosed with BDD with massive hemoptysis. The boy was cured by embolization of the bronchial artery and was in good health at the 1-year follow-up. In addition, we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases using keyword "Bronchial Dieulafoy's Disease (BDD)" and found six additional cases of pediatric BDD. Conclusion: It is still insufficient to draw a conclusion about the origin of the disease. Bronchial angiography and endobronchial ultrasonography are considered promising methods to diagnose Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus. Bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy should not be deployed due to the high risk of fatal hemorrhage. Explicit clinical case reports of BDD are needed to enhance the understanding of this rare disease.

Abstract
RATIONALE Dieulafoy disease of the bronchus is a rare vascular deformity. To the best of our knowledge, reports of these involving both lung vascular are hitherto absent. PATIENT CONCERNS A 67-year-old male was admitted to our department due to agnogenic hemoptysis. DIAGNOSES Bronchoscopy was performed and some smooth, pulsatile nodular lesions were found in the middle and lower lobes, Computed tomography angiography of the bronchial artery confirmed a left bronchial artery arising from the aortic arch at T4 level, and both bronchial arteries were dilated and tortuous. INTERVENTIONS Bronchial artery embolization was performed successfully. OUTCOMES The patient was discharged with no hemoptysis. In addition, patient is under follow-up until today without any further incidents. LESSONS This case reminds us that Dieulafoy disease of the bronchus could be a potential etiology for unexplained hemoptysis. The clinician should be aware of this disease when bronchoscopy revealed multiple some smooth, pulsatile nodular lesions, thereafter, bronchoscope biopsy should be avoided, as it could lead to fatal hemoptysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease (BDD) is a rare disease that is known to be a cause of hemorrhage. The characteristics of this disease are still unknown. The present study describes the disorder based on a review of the world's literature, emphasizing the diagnostic and therapeutic views. METHODS A comprehensive research of BDD of the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases was performed. The following data were collected: patient characteristics; chest imaging, bronchoscopy, vascular angiography, and histopathologic examination findings; and treatment rendered. RESULTS 73 cases of BDD have been reported from 1995 to 2019. Most of the cases occurred in Asia (52.1%), followed by Europe (31.5%). Chest imaging findings were non-specific. The main bronchoscopy finding was a nodular or protruding lesion (60.9%). 19 patients underwent bronchoscopic biopsies, 17 had bleeding, and 6 died. Four patients were successfully shown to have vascular malformations under mucosal protrusion by endobronchial ultrasound scan (EBUS). Vascular angiography mainly showed tortuous, dilated bronchial arteries. Vascular angiography mainly showed tortuous, dilated bronchial arteries. The arterial supply was mainly provided by bronchial arteries (48 cases) and the pulmonary circulation (4 cases). The lesions were mainly located in the right bronchus (53 cases). Selective bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was attempted in 38 patients and 20 patients underwent lobectomies. Emergency resection was performed in 15 patients, all of whom survived and had no recurrent hemoptysis. CONCLUSIONS Massive hemoptysis was the common manifestation of BDD. Vascular angiography and EBUS is a very useful examination before biopsy. BAE may be used in stable patients, or patients who cannot tolerate surgery, while surgical resection should be considered in patients who are unstable, patients with uncontrolled hemoptysis, or following BAE failure.
