Abstract:
Hemoptysis, defined as bleeding into the tracheobronchial tree, is a serious symptom that can cause asphyxiation if inadequately treated. Massive hemoptysis carries a very high mortality risk, and therefore, a prompt multidisciplinary approach to hemoptysis is highly encouraged. Bronchial artery embolization has evolved as the mainstay of treatment in control of hemoptysis. It is a low-risk procedure that carries high initial clinical success rates. Despite relatively high recurrence rates, it can be repeated until the underlying disease process can be definitively treated.
