Treatment of haemoptysis in pulmonary atresia with tranexamic acid

  • Matthew J. Devine (a1) and Dorothy J. Radford (a2)
Abstract

We report the case of a young woman with continuing haemoptysis, pulmonary atresia, previous shunt surgery, and pulmonary hypertension. She was not suitable for further surgery or for therapeutic embolisation of bronchial vessels. Treatment with tranexamic acid resolved the haemoptysis.
