In patients presenting with massive hemoptysis, it is often challenging to control bleeding. Uncontrolled bleeding can lead to hemodynamic compromise, asphyxiation, and high mortality. We present a case of a patient who presented with massive hemoptysis, and the use of fibrin sealant glue through a bronchoscopic catheter, which was effective in controlling bleeding.
