Hemoptysis in a Patient With Persistent Left Upper Lobe Consolidation: A 35-YEAR-OLD man (weight 67 kg, height 169.9 cm), with a history of cough, dyspnea on exertion, and hemoptysis of 90 days' duration, presented to the authors' institution for further evaluation. Eight months before his presentation, he underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. About 5 months after the procedure, he was admitted to the hospital in respiratory distress with dyspnea and hemoptysis. Thoracic computed tomography showed left upper lobe consolidation (Fig 1).
