Abstract

Massive hemoptysis is a serious medical condition or emergency which needs immediate treatment. It typically appears in the bronchial arteries and can be caused by a wide range of pulmonary diseases. This report is based on a very rare case of a patient bleeding from an anastomosis between the left phrenic artery and pulmonary arteries/veins. In this case, the chest computed tomography had detected changes which required doctors to perform a successful embolization.
