J Bronchology Interv Pulmonol. 2010 Oct;17(4):351-2. doi: 10.1097/LBR.0b013e3181f39f69.

Abstract

We report the first case of massive hemorrhage after argon plasma coagulation of an endobronchial tumor that obstructed the right main bronchus. This is the first report of bleeding complication with argon plasma coagulation while attempting to remove the tumor. The patient was successfully resuscitated and discharged without sequelae.
