Overview

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Rigid bronchoscopy may be helpful in the differentiating underlying etiologies of hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy is useful in either:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
    • Diagnosis of etiology
    • Localizing the site of bleeding
    • Identifying lung cancer
    • Isolation of the involved airway
    • Control of hemorrhage 
    • Treatment of the underlying cause of hemoptysis in case of visible endoluminal lesions
  • Other diagnostic studies for hemoptysis include:[10]
    • Pulmonary angiography, which demonstrates:
    • Aortography, which demonstrates:
    • Angiography of the bronchials and other thoracic systemic arteries, which demonstrates:
