The Importance of Computed Tomography Angiography before Bronchial Artery Embolization in Hemoptysis
Educational Poster Background: Massive hemoptysis is an emergency and a life-threatening situation. Computed tomography angiography helps in identifying the underling pathology and anatomical variation of the bronchial artery. Imaging prior bronchial artery embolization has crucial role in directing an interventional radiologist. The bronchial artery is responsible for majority of hemoptysis cases. Lack of pre-embolization imaging assessment may result in recurrence or incomplete embolization.
