Selective bronchial arteriography and CTA can reveal dilated bronchial arteries, abnormal arteries, vascular shunts, fistulae, and extravasation of contrast into the lungs, which can be helpful in making the diagnosis and ruling out other causes of hemoptysis.[3] If lesions of the bronchial arteries fail to show up, pulmonary arteriography would be essential.
