Clinical TrialEmbolization of bronchial arteries of anomalous origin.
To highlight the importance of detecting bronchial arteries of anomalous origin in patients with massive or recurrent hemoptysis. ⋯ In cases of hemorrhage when the cause is not easily identified, or in cases of recurrence in spite of accurate embolization of pathological arteries, the presence of bronchial arteries of anomalous origin should be considered. Embolization is more difficult in these cases and there is an increased risk of complications.
