Hemoptysis: diagnosis and management

Roberta Lenner et al. Compr Ther. 2002 Spring.

Hemoptysis is a frightening and potentially life-threatening symptom. However, most cases can be approached effectively with conservative management. Bronchial artery embolization should be attempted when bleeding is refractory to medical therapy, and surgery may be needed in severe hemorrhage.
