Hemoptysis historical perspective

Introduction

Overview

Overview

During 129-199 A.D., Galen identified the bronchial arteries as internal vessels of the lung. Leonardo da Vinci illustrated lung circulation. In the 1960s, angiography of the thoracic aorta and bronchial tree was done. In 1963, angiography of bronchial arteries was described by Viramonte. In 1974, Remy introduced bronchial artery embolization (BAE) as a successful, effective, non-invasive procedure to treat hemoptysis.
