Embolization of bronchial collaterals has been suggested as a means of controlling the recurrence of hemoptysis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. In conclusion, the investigators present a patient in which this procedure failed to prevent further episodes of hemoptysis and discuss whether this procedure should be offered routinely, given the lack of sufficient data to support this approach.
