Massive hemoptysis two months after an otherwise mild SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) treated with bronchial artery embolization - A case report

Abstract

An otherwise healthy young man presented with massive hemoptysis 2 month following a mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and with no other identifiable cause of illness. The patient was successfully treated with bronchial artery embolization. We are strongly convinced that hemoptysis in this case was COVID-related. This unusual case of delayed COVID-related hemoptysis reveals new aspects in the understanding of mid-term and presumable auto-immune triggered effects in patients with initially only mild symptoms of the disease.
