Abstract EN
Massive hemoptysis is a life threatening respiratory emergency with high mortality and the bronchial artery (BA) is its most frequent source.
Herein, we report a case of a 76-year-old man with recurrent hemoptysis due to an aberrant right BA arising from the right internal mammary artery (IMA), an extremely rare origin, that was clearly depicted on pretreatment computed tomography angiography (CTA).
The patient was treated successfully by transcatheter bronchial artery embolization (BAE) of the aberrant BA and the hemoptysis has since been controlled for 9 months.
Knowledge of the detailed BA anatomy is essential for performing BAE, especially in cases of aberrant BA.
CTA is a promising tool for pretreatment planning of emergency BAE in patients with hemoptysis.
