Balloon‐Assisted Embolization of a Left Internal Mammary Artery Branch in Life‐Threatening Hemoptysis: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Life‐threatening hemoptysis is most commonly caused by hypertrophied bronchial arteries, but non‐bronchial systemic arteries (NBSA) such as the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) may also contribute, particularly in chronic infectious lung diseases. Embolization of LIMA branches poses technical challenges due to their tortuosity and proximity
