Abstract
Bronchial artery embolization is an effective therapeutic tool and plays a pivotal role in management of life-threatening massive hemoptysis. Surgery is indicated when bronchial artery embolization is not suitable and can be safely performed in combination with a rigid bronchoscopy or bronchial artery embolization procedure. Our results indicate that a multidisciplinary approach should be adopted for management of life-threatening massive hemoptysis.
