Large bronchial casts.
Unusually large bronchial casts developed in four patients. In two, the casts were associated with pneumonia. In one, a large RBC cast resulted from a complication of fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Bronchial casts developed in an additional patient as a manifestation of plastic bronchitis. Although unusual, bronchial cast formation may complicate a number of hypersecretory pulmonary diseases. Therapy ordinarily includes specific measures to treat the underlying disease state and maneuvers designed to remove or facilitate the expectoration of bronchial casts.

Acute respiratory failure: a rare complication of perfusion photoscintigraphy in a patient with bullous emphysema.
Acute cardiorespiratory failure occurred in a patient with advanced bullous emphysema following perfusion photoscintigraphy with radiolabeled macroaggregated albumin. Complications of perfusion photoscintography are rare. However, in patients with advanced pulmonary vascular disease, special precautions may decrease the minimal hazard associated with perfusion photoscintigraphy.
