The authors report a case of bronchoscopy made necessary by severe hemoptysis in a young man with very severe respiratory distress. Bronchoscopy was carried out under excellent conditions thanks to respiratory assistance supplied by partial femoro-femoral extra-corporeal circulation. The interest and limits of this method are discussed.

Unresectable carcinoma of the lung has traditionally been recognized as a contraindication to surgery in massive hemoptysis. A 60-year-old man had massive hemoptysis. At surgery an unresectable neoplastic mass invading the mediastinum and great vessels was encountered. Subtotal resection was accomplished using a stapler (Autostapler). The margins of the bronchial and vascular staples were of necessity placed directly through the tumor. The patient had an uneventful recovery and has survived six months without further hemoptysis. This method is presented as an effective strategic retreat under circumstances not permitting definitive therapy.

Pulmonary function and cardiopulmonary complications were studied in a group of 40 patients with cystic fibrosis who reached the age of 25 years. Mean values for vital capacity (VC), functional residual capacity, residual volume (RV), the ratio of RV over total lung capacity (RV/TLC), conductance, and the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in one second over VC were abnormal. There was a variable pattern of progression from patient to patient. The men differed from the women only in that they had a significantly larger TLC and inspiratory capacity than the women. The resultant preservation of VC may have an advantage for survival in those patients in whom it is observed. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was encountered with increasing frequency with age. Massive hemoptysis did not result in early death. The occurrence of rightsided heart failure secondary to cor pulmonale, with or without respiratory failure, was a poor prognostic sign.

Response of intrathoracic symptoms to thoracic irradiation was evaluated in 330 patients. Superior vena caval syndrome and hemoptysis showed the best response, with rates of 86% and 83%, respectively, compared to 73% for pain in the shoulder and arm and 60% for dyspnea and chest pain. Atelectasis showed re-expansion in only 23% of cases, but this figure increased to 57% for patients with oat-cell carcinoma. Vocal cord paralysis improved in only 6% of cases. Radiation therapy has a definite positive role in providing symptomatic relief for patients with carcinoma of the lung.

Goodpasture's syndrome has characteristically been described as being mediated by IgG antibodies. We have recently seen a 55-year-old man who developed renal failure and hemoptysis; a renal biopsy showed linear deposits of IgA and C3 involving glomerular and tubular basement membrane. Serologic tests for detecting (IgG) antiglomerular basement membrane antibodies were negative. Elution studies of kidney and lung showed the presence of an IgA antibasement membrane antibody only. The patient's serum contained IgA, but not IgG, antibodies reactive with glomerular and tubular basement membrane of normal human kidney and alveolar basement membrane of normal human lung. Attempts to transfer disease with the patient's IgA antibody to a monkey and to Lewis and Brown-Norway rats were unsuccessful. Immunoglobulin A antibasement membrane antibody must be considered in the design of immunoserologic procedures for the diagnosis of Goodpasture's syndrome.

Hyperplastic changes of the bronchial arteries may take the form of a racemose arteriovenous angioma or result from chronic bronchitis. Clinically, recurrent haemoptysis is a striking feature occurring in otherwise fit patients. The two forms can be distinguished by bronchial arteriography because of the difference in the appearance of the vessels. In the one condition there are circumscribed areas of arterial and venous, vascular abnormalities, in the other there is vascular hyperplasia, which is less clearly circumscribed. In both forms, broncho-pulmonary, i.e. arterio-venous anastomoses can be demonstrated; these may be considered as the cause of the haemoptyses.

The development and course of traumatic pneumatoceles was followed radiologically in four patients. The interval between the trauma and a recognisable cystic space varied. The patients had in common the fact that they were young, had suffered a serious road accident and developed haemoptysis. In one patient a lobe had to be resected, in the other spontaneous regression occurred within four weeks.

Acute massive pulmonary hemorrhage is described as part of the clinical picture of SLE. Seven patients had sudden onset of high fever, dyspnea, tachycardia, and cough with blood-tinged sputum that within hours progressed to massive hemoptysis and death. There were no vasculitis or other inflammatory lung changes found at autopsy. Only one of the seven reported cases survived when treated with 2 g of intravenous hydrocortisone daily. The mechanism of this pulmonary bleeding is unknown but seems to be an immune complex mediated phenomenon.

A case of bronchial infection with Syngamus laryngeus (Gapeworm) in a 42-year-old woman is described. Following presentation with chronic cough, haemoptysis and weight loss, a pair of worms was removed at bronchoscopy, with resolution of symptoms.

This review is based on 5300 needle biopsies. Complications and their precaution are discussed. Pneumothorax seldom has to be treated. Hemoptysis and small local bleeding are of no clinical significance. Tumor cell spread and air embolism may occur but extremely rarely. Indications, contraindications equipment, and biopsy technique are treated. A recent technical improvement in needle biopsy is described.
