“…19,20 Racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery with a bronchial-pulmonary fistula is associated with a high recurrence rate. 3,[21][22][23][24][25] In the current case, a residual shunt from collateral arteries, such as the upper bronchial artery and sub-phrenic artery, was detected by postoperative CT. However, the dilated peripheral pulmonary artery was thrombosed.…”

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair and coil embolization of the pulmonary artery for primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery with a bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula

A 69-year-old male visited a doctor with dyspnea. A bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula, which is called racemose hemangioma, and dilated pulmonary artery were detected by a computed tomography (CT) scan. The bronchial-pulmonary artery fistula can cause lethal hemoptysis, therefore, we performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to seal the bronchial artery and coil embolization of the pulmonary artery. Postoperative CT showed the thrombosed racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery. TEVAR and coil embolization of the pulmonary artery is considered to be a useful treatment option for a racemose hemangioma.

“…Bronchial angiography showed a tumor stain, so the tumor was thought to be a type of neoplasm receiving blood flow from the bronchial artery, thus excluding racemose hemangioma, which usually shows enlarged and convoluted vessels and shunts between the bronchial arteries and pulmonary veins. 16) Biopsy and immunohistochemistry are required for a confirmed diagnosis. 17) From the findings of H-E staining, the following differential diagnoses were considered; spindle cell carcinoma, liposarcoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, and Kaposi's sarcoma.…”

Pulmonary angiosarcomas are usually secondary tumors, and only a few primary cases have been reported. Effective strategies for treating this tumor have not been established, and the prognosis of affected individuals is generally very poor. We report a case of primary angiosarcoma presenting as a hemorrhagic solitary nodule at the bifurcation of the left main bronchus, followed for two years before surgery. Bronchial arteriography revealed a tumor stain sign, and racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery was excluded. The hemoptysis was not controlled by repeated bronchial artery embolization, and the patient underwent left pneumonectomy with routine mediastinal lymph node dissection. Histopathologically, the excised tissue revealed a highly-cellular growth of atypical spindle cells with a storiform pattern. These atypical cells showed relatively low mitotic activity; the MIB-1 index was 10%. The tumor was diagnosed as a primary angiosarcoma of the lung by the following immunohistological findings: positivity for factor VIII-related antigen and CD31. One year after resection, the patient remains well without signs of recurrence.

“…6 Transcatheter intervention is a less invasive technique, and the cure rate for pulmonary AVMs has been reported to be 85%-98%. 7,8 However, reperfusion of the pulmonary AVM due to recanalization or growth of an accessory vessel is an acknowledged problem.…”

“…Regarding bronchial AVMs, some cases of recurrent hemoptysis due to recanalization after embolotherapy have been reported as well. 6 In addition, Brillet et al described a higher incidence of pulmonary infarction after embolotherapy in patients with pulmonary AVM fed by abnormally enlarged systemic arteries. 9 In the current case, we think that these facts support the validity of our choice of surgical treatment.…”

Bronchial arteriovenous malformation with a large aneurysm appearing as a mass shadow in the right hilum on chest imaging was successfully extirpated thoracoscopically without any lung resection. Preoperative angiography showed tortuous, enlarged right bronchial arteries with an aneurysm connecting to the pulmonary artery, which could not be totally embolized via the transcatheter approach because of the length of the abnormal bronchial artery and possibility of embolotherapy-induced pulmonary infarction. Histological examination revealed defects of the media and internal elastic lamina of the resected bronchial arteries and aneurysm. The patient was free of hemoptysis and other airway symptoms 4 years after surgery.
