Massive hemoptysis from iatrogenic balloon catheter rupture of pulmonary artery: successful early management by balloon tamponade.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cytokines and adhesion molecules have a decisive role in the development of early inflammatory response as well as the late sequelae of sepsis. Because L-selectin-deficient mice are protected from lethal endotoxemia, blockade of L-selectin may provide a useful therapeutic option in human sepsis. Heparin has i...
