Coughing up blood is blood from the lower respiratory tract that goes out through the mouth when coughing. This is a common symptom in respiratory diseases. The disease tends to recur if not treated thoroughly.

Hemoptysis is a dangerous emergency condition. If not examined and treated early, the patient may die from respiratory failure or hemorrhagic shock. However, hemoptysis can now be controlled by bronchial artery embolization. This is a minimally invasive method, performed through the femoral artery, helping the patient recover quickly.

The bronchial arteries are the part that provides nutrition and oxygen to the lungs. Digital subtraction angiography of the bronchial arteries will help doctors collect images of this organ to serve the examination and treatment process.
