Management of hemoptysis begins with an angio-CT to identify the location, the bleeding vessel, mapping of systemic arteries and the cause of the hemoptysis. Endovascular treatment is the first-line therapy, in 90% of cases by embolization of the systemic arteries and in 10% of cases by occlusion of the pulmonary arteries.
