A young man with pulmonary tuberculosis presents with massive recurrent hemoptysis. For angiographic treatment, which vascular structure should be evaluated first:
B i.e. Bronchial aery In 95% of cases of massive recurrent hemoptysis, the source of blood are systemic bronchial aeryQ rather than pulmonaryaery; So these are the vascular structures which should be evaluated first. Type of Bleeding Source - Hemoptysis - Bronchial aeryQ - Epidural hemorrhage - Middle meningeal aeryQ - Subdural hemorrhage - Bridging veinsQ - Sub arachnoid hemorrhage - Berry saccular aneurysmQ - Intracerebral hemorrhage - Infra parenchymal vessels - Menstruation - Spiral aeriesQ - Epitaxis - Plexus of vein (M.C.) & sphenopalatine aery
