- Abstract
The article describes a case of intra-alveolar hemorrhages due to left heart dysfunction and calcified constrictive pericarditis in a 53-year-old man who developed an atrial fibrillation requiring anticoagulation. A thoracic computed tomograpohy (CT) scan confirmed an intra-alveolar hemorrhage and a bilateral embolization of bronchial arteries was performed. The patient developed pulmonary edema, right pleural effusion and pericardic calcification three months later.
