Javed	A novel approach to the diagnosis and treatment of hemoptysis in infants: A case series	2018-09-18		.txt	text/plain	2381	152	40	Cardiac catheterization and coil embolization of aorto‐pulmonary collateral vessels (APCs) is uncommon in pediatric hemoptysis patients without congenital heart disease. METHODS: We present a series of seven infants (≤12 months of age) with hemoptysis, all of whom underwent cardiac catheterization to look for and intervene upon APCs, if found. 10, 11 APCs are synonymous with broncho-pulmonary arterial anastomoses and there are very few reports of coil embolization of these vessels for pediatric hemoptysis 2 aside from those associated with known CHD. 4 Though massive hemoptysis is rare after palliated congenital cardiac lesions, there have been multiple reports of post-Fontan patients who present with massive hemoptysis, resolving after embolization of multiple aorto-pulmonary collateral vessels. After IRB approval was received, a retrospective review of the pediatric pulmonology and cardiology databases at our tertiary children's hospital was performed to identify patients with hemoptysis as their reason for hospitalization and who also underwent a bronchoscopy and subsequent cardiac catheterization between January 1995 and January 2015.	./cache/cord-339940-80757pwu.txt	./txt/cord-339940-80757pwu.txt
