| 1 | Bronchial bleeding caused by recurrent pneumonia after radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer显示文摘We herein report a case of bronchial bleeding afterradical esophagectomy that was treated with lobectomy.A 65-year-old male who underwent subtotal esophagectomy with three-field lymph node dissection for esophageal carcinoma was referred to our hospital because of sudden hemoptysis.After the esophagectomy,bilateral vocal cord paralysis was observed,and the patient suffered from repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia.Bronchoscopy revealed hemosputum in the right middle lobe bronchus,and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed tortuous arteries arising from the right inferior phrenic artery and left subclavian artery toward the right middle lobe bronchus.Although bronchial arterial embolization was performed twice to control the recurrent hemoptysis,the procedures were unsuccessful.Right middle lobectomy was therefore performed via video-assisted thoracic surgery.Engorged bronchial arterys with medial hypertrophy and overgrowth of the small branches were noted near the bronchus in the resected specimen.The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 14. | Toshihiro Kitajima Kota Momose Seigi Lee Shusuke Haruta Masaki Ueno Hisashi Shinohara Sakashi Fujimori Takeshi Fujii Ryoji Takei Tadasu Kohno Harushi Udagawa | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，11： | 3 |
