Figure 2b. (a) Selective right bronchial angiogram in a 29-year-old man with tuberculosis and recurrent episodes of massive hemoptysis shows a normal right bronchial artery (arrow) with intercostobronchial trunk. (b) Oblique coronal 1.0-mm-thick CT image with MPR shows a right bronchial artery (arrow) of 3.1 mm in diameter arising from aorta at the level of T5. It is not traceable to the hilum. (c) Selective angiogram of common bronchial trunk shows an enlarged left bronchial artery (arrow) with hypervascularity of the left upper lobe and a normal right bronchial artery (arrowhead). (d) Three-dimensional CT image shows a right bronchial artery (black arrow) and a left bronchial artery arising from the aorta at the level of T5-T6 and traceable to the hilum (white arrow), much like at angiography. A small vascular structure (arrowhead), which may be the right bronchial artery with common trunk seen at angiography, is visible.
