Abstract
Life-threatening hemoptysis due to ruptured pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare emergency with a high mortality rate if not treated promptly. Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is an important diagnostic method to detect causes of hemoptysis, especially severe hemoptysis. Endovascular coil interventions and surgery are the cornerstones of management for pulmonary aneurysms and cessation of hemoptysis.
