Severe hemoptysis : From diagnosis to embolization

Copyright © 2015 Éditions françaises de radiologie. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

Severe hemoptysis is life-threatening to patients because of the asphyxia it causes. The diagnosis and treatment are therefore urgent and chest imaging is essential. Multidetector CT-angiography provides an exhaustive non-invasive assessment which includes localization, mechanisms, causes and severity of the hemoptysis. It is an invaluable step in preparation for endovascular treatment which is the first line invasive therapy, particularly with bronchial arteriography embolization in the majority of cases (over 90%) and erosion or rupture of the pulmonary artery in less than 10% of cases. Hemoptysis control is achieved in 65 to 92% of cases depending on the cause.
