Racemose Hemangioma

Abstract Introduction: Racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery is a rare disease. The diagnosis of racemose hemangioma is difficult when affected patients are asymptomatic, and causes unexplained hemoptysis. Selective bronchial artery embolization has become the first-line treatment for this rare disease. However, feasibility and safety of bronchial artery embolization was not reported in the case with permanent tracheostomy. Case presentation: A 44-year-old woman underwent endoscopic screening during which a circular tumor was detected in the cervical esophagus, which was confirmed as squamous cell carcinoma on biopsy. She underwent cervical esophagectomy with pharyngolaryngectomy through a cervical incision. Reconstruction was performed by free jejunal transfer and permanent tracheostomy. Six weeks after surgery, hemoptysis from permanent tracheostomy was observed. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed no bleeding around the tracheostomy, and bronchoscopy could not identify the origin of the bleeding due to a large amount of blood clots obscuring the visual field. Bronchial arteriography showed a bent, meandering and dilated bronchial artery, extending to the right bronchus with vascular hyperplasia. We diagnosed primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery, which was successfully treated by transcatheter arterial embolization of the bronchial artery. After embolization, bronchoscopy revealed no bleeding. Conclusion: Findings from this case suggest that bronchial angiography is essential for diagnosis of this disease, and selective bronchial artery embolization appears to be effective in treating this disease in patients with permanent tracheostomy. Accumulation of similar cases will help to elucidate the optimal diagnosis and treatment strategy for this condition.

Racemose Hemangioma

A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital for an abnormal chest shadow. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed 2-humped bronchial artery aneurysms (BAAs) associated with racemose hemangioma. The combined therapy of transcatheter bronchial artery embolization and thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed. Postoperative CT confirmed the complete exclusion of the aneurysms with no evidence of an endoleak. Our result suggests that this combined therapy is a safe and effective treatment for BAA.

Recurrent Haemoptysis

Thirty-seven patients presenting with massive or recurrent haemoptysis secondary to tuberculous aetiology were subjected to bronchial artery angiography. Of these, failure to catheterize the bleeding vessel occurred in two patients while embolization was withheld in two patients due to the presence of anterior spinal artery arising from a common intercosto-bronchial trunk. Immediate arrest of bleeding was performed in the remaining 33 patients by selective embolization of the abnormal bronchial arteries with a resorbable material (Gelfoam). Regular follow up for a duration of 6 months after the procedure revealed relapse of haemoptysis in four patients; three were treated by re-embolization of the abnormal bleeding vessels while one patient died due to aspiration immediately on admission. No recurrence of bleeding was seen in the remaining 29 patients. It is concluded that bronchial artery embolization is an effective treatment for immediate control of life-threatening haemoptysis.
