Abstract

Hemoptysis is a rare complication of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A clinical case of idiopathic PAH manifested with recurrent hemoptysis during pregnancy has been described in the paper. Diagnostic approach and optimal management of such patients were also discussed. Pulmonary hemorrhage requires active therapeutic interventions including surgical treatment. Endovascular embolization of bronchial arteries is the firstline treatment but this requires initial detection of area of interest, intervention volume and intraoperative risk. Lung transplantation should also be considered.
