Official Title: A Multicentric Randomized Trial Comparing the Bronchial Artery Embolization Combined With Medical Measures and the Medical Measures Alone in the Treatment of Non-severe Acute Hemoptysis of Mild-to-mod

Brief Summary: Severe hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition, with an unpredictable course. The efficacy of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is well established for the treatment of severe hemoptysis, with short and long-term bleeding controls obtained in 70 to 100% and 50 to 90% of cases, respectively. As complications related to vascular interventional radiology may occur in 5 to 10% of cases, the benefit-risk balance might be less clear in acute hemoptysis of mild-to-moderate abundance (volume between 100 and 200 ml) and no criteria of severity (respiratory failure or hemodynamic instability). There is no available data comparing the safety and efficacy of BAE combined with medical measures to those of medical measures alone in the treatment of non-severe acute hemoptysis of mild-to-moderate abundance.
