title: [Cardiopulmonary arrest due to massive hemoptysis from bronchiectasis].
abstract: A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of hemosputum. When chest computed tomography (CT) was performed, sudden and massive hemoptysis occurred. She suffered cardiopulmonary arrest. After resuscitation, different lung ventilation was performed to control hemoptysis from the left lung. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was performed, however, hemoptysis recurred, and the left pneumonectomy was performed. She has been free from hemoptysis after operation, and has been discharged from the hospital 73 days after surgery.
