Overview[edit | edit source]

Common risk factors in the development of hemoptysis include cigarette smoking, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anticoagulant medications. Risk factors in the recurrence of hemoptysis include persistent residual mild bleeding following bronchial artery embolization, blood transfusion before the procedure, and aspergilloma. Less common risk factors in the development of hemoptysis include congestive heart failure and mitral regurgitation.
