A 72-year-old man with ESRD on hemodialysis was referred to the hospital because of hemoptysis. A chest radiograph showed diffuse infiltration in the right lung field. Laboratory data showed hematuria and proteinuria. A kidney biopsy revealed diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis with linear staining of IgG along the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). However, circulating IgG anti-GBM antibodies were not detected. Because the findings of renal biopsy suggested Goodpasture's disease, the patient was treated with plasmapheresis and pulse steroid therapy, which resulted in a rapid resolution of his pulmonary symptoms and chest radiograph abnormalities. However, sputum culture on admission yielded Mycobacterium tuberculosis 3 weeks later. Therefore, immuosuppressive agents were discontinued and antituberculous agents were administered. There was no relapse of pulmonary hemorrhage during the next 1-year period of follow-up, but the patient did not regain renal function and remained on hemodialysis.

A 48-year-old man, with end stage renal disease and a history of recreational drug abuse, presented for elective cataract surgery. Patient underwent the procedure with a general endotracheal anesthesia with a balanced anesthetic. After an uneventful intra-operative period, he had a sudden onset large volume hemoptysis just prior to extubation. Poor oxygenation and hemodynamic instability necessitated emergent reintubation in the immediate post-extubation period. Emergent bronchoscopy did not show active airway bleeding or obstructive mucous plugs, and a diagnosis of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage was made. The patient was gradually weaned off the ventilator and made a slow recovery over a one - week period.

We present a case of a 70-year-old male with a past medical history of coronary artery bypass grafting and end stage renal disease who presented with massive hemoptysis. He had a history of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, with infection and removal of endocardial pacing leads. His work-up revealed a 2.9-cm proximal left subclavian artery aneurysm. Bronchoscopy confirmed bright red blood in the left upper lobe bronchus and coronary angiography confirmed a patent left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to left anterior descending bypass. Because of the consideration of maintaining coronary perfusion via the LIMA while excluding the subclavian aneurysm, he underwent a left carotid to left axillary artery bypass graft followed by deployment of an Amplatzer II vascular plug just distal to the aneurysm. A thoracic endograft was then deployed to exclude the origin of the subclavian. A review of the literature reveals hemoptysis as a rare presentation of a subclavian aneurysm. We discuss approaches to this challenging clinical problem, ranging from open repair to hybrid approaches.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon, but important, opportunistic fungal pneumonia which is often diagnosed late. Renal failure as the predominant presenting feature is not common in mucormycosis. Moreover, sudden, massive hemoptysis is not a usual complication. In this report we describe fatal pulmonary mucormycosis in a young patient with a previously undiagnosed chronic renal failure.

A 61-year-old female on hemodialysis with chronic renal failure presented with hemoptysis 10 years after replacement of the distal arch and the descending aorta. Computed tomography showed hematoma around the prosthetic graft and intrapulmonary hemorrhage adjacent to the graft. At emergency open surgery, perforation was revealed in the distal portion of the graft. It was considered to be caused by the friction between the surrounding calcified aortic wall and the graft. The ruptured graft was successfully replaced.

Background. We describe the unusual case of a recently transplanted cadaveric renal transplant recipient who presented with recurrent pulmonary mucormycosis. Case Report. An 18-year-old man with end stage renal disease secondary to congenital renal agenesis status after cadaveric kidney transplant 4 months before presented with acute onset of fever, hemoptysis, and back pain. The patient underwent an emergent left lower lobectomy due to the critical nature of his illness. He was also treated with amphotericin with resolution of his symptoms. One week later, he had evidence of recurrent disease on imaging with a surgical site infection. He underwent reexploration with evacuation of an empyema and debridement of a surgical site infection. He was continued on IV antifungal therapy with isavuconazonium and amphotericin. Radiographic clearance of disease with three months of treatment was apparent with no evidence of recurrence at seven-month follow-up. Discussion. Opportunistic infections in solid organ transplant patients represent a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Most patients are treated with prophylactic anti-infective agents. However, rare infections such as pulmonary mucormycosis remain a risk. The transplant physician must be aware of these uncommon infections and their treatment strategies, including the management of uncommon recurrent disease.

Here we report an extremely rare presentation of internal jugular vein catheterization, presenting as massive hemoptysis which was noted during right internal jugular vein cuffed hemodialysis catheter insertion of a 39-year-old man known-case of End-Stage Renal Disease. Chest roentgenogram and computerized tomography scan showed pleural effusion and misplacement of the tip of hemodialysis catheter in the posterior mediastinum causing possible damage to the right main bronchus. After chest tube insertion and removing the misplaced hemodialysis catheter, a proper cuffed catheter was inserted and the patient was discharged with an uneventful post-op course.
