Abstract
Massive hemoptysis is an independent unfavorable predictive and prognostic factor in the surgical treatment of PA. We believe that in operable cases, early surgical resection may be recommended even in asymptomatic patients. This strategy may prevent development of life-threatening symptoms and offers a realistic chance of permanent cure with acceptable mortality and morbidity.
