A young man with T.B presents with massive reccurere haemoptysis. For angiography treatment which vascular structure should be evaluated first: (A) Pulmonary aery, (B) Bronchial aery, (C) Pulmonary vein, (D) Superior vena cava
Answer is B. More significant hemoptysis can result from the proximity of the bronchial aery and vein to the air-way, with these vessels and the bronchus running together in what is often referred to as the bronchovascular bundle. Ref Harrison 19th edition pg 245-246
