CONCLUSIONS: In the case of coronavirus-19 pneumonia, our experience suggests that the treatment of severe haemoptysis by bronchial artery embolisation is feasible and effective. Pulmonary bleeding seems to be an atypical manifestation of SARS-CoV-2 infection, as COVID-19associated haemoptysis has rarely been reported in the literature (Lapostolle et al. In this context, we hypothesised that the lifethreatening haemoptysis presented by our patient was consecutive to severe lung damage induced by SARS-CoV-2 combined with the anticoagulant effect of UNFH therapy, resulting in peripheral bronchial artery damage. Our experience suggests that the embolisation of bronchial arteries is feasible and may help control bleeding in cases of COVID-19 pneumonia associated with life-threatening haemoptysis. ./cache/cord-343052-dc9s2rau.txt ./txt/cord-343052-dc9s2rau.txt
