Examples of bronchoscopy requirement for lateralizing. (A,B) A 59-year-old female with massive hemoptysis and evidence of bilateral bronchiectasis. Bronchoscopy revealed right lower lobe as a source of hemorrhage; (C) a 47-year-old male with bilateral cavitation and mycetoma. Right upper lobe was identified as source of bleeding by FOB; (D) both subjects were stabilized by ETT intubation and right sided bronchial blockade prior to BAE. ETT, endotracheal tube; BAE, bronchial artery embolization.
