Abstract:
Embolization of the bronchial artery is a well-established treatment for patients with hemoptysis. To our know ledge, a case involving an aberrant bronchial artery from the common carotid artery has never been reported. The authors describe a case in which an aberrant bronchial artery from the left common carotid artery was a potential hazard during embolization of the bronchial artery.
