Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome (MKS) is a rare disorder derived from the muscular and elastic tissue defects of the trachea and the main bronchial walls, characterized by tracheobronchomegaly. Patients may present with complaints of cough, phlegm, dyspnoea and haemoptysis. Haemoptysis may be minor and mixed with phlegm or it may be massive. Establishment of airway patency is a priority in the management of massive haemoptysis. Cold saline solution, diluted adrenaline or tranexamic acid may be administered via the endobronchial route to stop haemorrhage while establishing the airway patency. Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) has a haemostatic property and can be locally administered to the airway. In this report, we aim to highlight the effects of ABS administered via an endobronchial route for emergency palliation of a patient with MKS presenting with massive haemoptysis.
