subject: Bronchial Artery Embolization: A Non-Surgical Approach in Case of Hemoptysis [print this page]
Spitting blood, also called hemoptysis, is scary and may happen because of different reasons. Such condition as bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, lung infection, and any other diseases may cause it. When hemoptysis is severe or recurrent, a bronchial artery embolization should be used as treatment in order to reduce the bleeding.
The process of bronchial artery embolization is an image-guided interventional procedure done by an interventional radiologist. A catheter is placed into a small blood vessel and guided to the arteries that provide blood to the lungs. By the means of a very detailed imaging, the specialist determines which arteries are involved in the bleeding and puts embolic materials into them in order to reduce or block abnormal bleeding.
The main advantage of bronchial artery embolization is the fact that it is non-surgical. It doesn't require a large incision and in some cases, it provides less pain and quicker recovery than any surgery.
