AbstractCardiac implantable electronic devices are being increasingly used for a variety of cardiovascular diseases. We describe a rare case of massive hemoptysis after device implantation. The patient was managed conservatively with reversal of anticoagulation and inhaled tranexamic acid and had a successful recovery. A systematic review accompanies the case presentation. The modality and difficulty of access appear to play a significant role in precipitating bleeding, believed to be the result of direct injury to the pulmonary parenchyma and vasculature. The condition is often self-limiting; however, anticoagulation reversal, intubation, endobronchial intervention, and transarterial embolization may be indicated in more severe pulmonary hemorrhage.Copyright © 2022 Southern Society for Clinical Investigation.
