Does bronchial artery embolization resolve hemoptysis in patients with primary bronchial artery racemose hemangioma?
Bronchial artery embolization appears to be an effective and safe first-line therapeutic approach for primary bronchial artery racemose hemangioma presenting with hemoptysis.
May support BAE in rare racemose hemangioma; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We report two cases of primary bronchial artery racemose hemangioma (RHBA) in female patients presenting with hemoptysis as the dominant manifestation complicated by hemodynamic instability. Following a multidisciplinary team (MDT) consensus, bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was implemented as the primary intervention. Procedural success was achieved in both cases, resulting in the complete resolution of hemoptysis and hemodynamic stabilization. Postprocedural surveillance demonstrated sustained efficacy without recurrence during the follow-up period. This study validated BAE as an effective and safe first-line therapeutic approach for RHBA while further investigating the correlation between the embolization strategy and long-term clinical outcomes.

Wang et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Primary bronchial artery racemose hemangioma with hemoptysis (n=2). Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was evaluated on Procedural success, resolution of hemoptysis, and hemodynamic stabilization. Bronchial artery embolization achieved procedural success, complete resolution of hemoptysis, and hemodynamic stabilization in two female patients with primary bronchial artery racemose hemangioma.
