[Successful transection of racemose hemangioma of bronchial artery; report of a case].
A 52-year-old female was admitted to the hospital because of increasing hemoptysis for twenty years. Chest computed tomography (CT) on admission showed bronchoectasia with dilated bronchial arteries in the left lower lung field. Bronchial arteriogram showed racemose hemangioma of bronchial arteries draining to left lower pulmonary arteries. Transresection of bronchial artery and partial lung resection was performed. The cut surface of the resected specimen showed bronchoectasia with dilated bronchial arteries (8 mm in diameter). She is well 15 months following the treatment with no evidence of hemoptysis.
