BRONCHIAL ARTERY EMBOLIZATION
Bronchial artery is one of the important blood
vessels which supply blood to lungs. If there is
any abnormalities or dilation which may cause
disturbance in the blood flow and also cause poor
pulmonary circulation, pulmonary artery
obstruction, chronic or severe thromboembolic
diseases. Untreated also cause heart failure and
eventually death. Bronchial artery interventions
can be used in the treatment of haemoptysis,
which is condition of coughing up of blood or
bloody mucus. Haemoptysis also causes trauma,
infections and other anatomical defects or
tumours. Treating bronchial artery Bronchial
artery embolization is a procedure in which the
blood flow will be stopped to enter into the
lungs. It is minimal invasive procedure by
inserting a catheter to treat the affected area
of the blood vessels enters in the lungs. Local
anaesthesia can be given to carry out the
procedure. A small catheter of 2 to 3 mm will be
inserted into the groin and with the help of
angiogram techniques, it will reach the arterial
bleeding blood vessel. They then insert a small
particles or drugs or small coils to block the
blood vessels and prevents bleeding. To know more
