[[Lung]] has two main [[vascular]] systems that include [[Lung|pulmonary]] circulation and [[Bronchiole|bronchial]] circulation. There are multiple [[Anastomosis|anastomoses]] between [[Lung|pulmonary]] and [[Bronchial artery|bronchial arteries]] which create [[Physiology|physiologic]] right to left [[Shunt (medical)|shunts]]. [[Blood]] in the hemoptysis is mostly originated from the [[Lung]]. However, it could be from the [[Gastrointestinal tract|gastrointestinal system]] as well. Primary origin of the [[blood]] comes from [[Bronchial artery|bronchial arteries]]. However, other sources of [[bleeding]] might be [[Pulmonary circulation|pulmonary vessels]], [[aorta]], [[intercostal]], [[Coronary circulation|coronary]], [[Chest|thoracic]], and phrenic [[Artery|arteries]]. Hemoptysis is an important [[symptom]] that has different etiologies and pathogenesis mechanisms. Hemoptysis may happen following [[infarction]] and [[ischemia]] of [[Lung|pulmonary]] parenchyma as seen in [[pulmonary embolism]], [[vasculitis]], and [[Infection|infections]]. Another mechanism of hemoptysis is [[vascular]] engorgement with erosion as seen in [[bronchitis]], [[bronchiectasis]], and toxic exposure to [[cigarette]] and other [[Irritation|irritants]]. In some cases underlying cause can not be identified and they are considered as [[idiopathic]]. However, they might present with massive hemoptysis. There are multiple conditions that are associated with hemoptysis which include [[granulomatosis with polyangiitis]], [[sarcoidosis]], [[immunodeficiency]], and indoor ice hockey play.

Overview

Lung has two main vascular systems that include pulmonary circulation and bronchial circulation. There are multiple anastomoses between pulmonary and bronchial arteries which create physiologic right to left shunts. Blood in the hemoptysis is mostly originated from the Lung. However, it could be from the gastrointestinal system as well. Primary origin of the blood comes from bronchial arteries. However, other sources of bleeding might be pulmonary vessels, aorta, intercostal, coronary, thoracic, and phrenic arteries. Hemoptysis is an important symptom that has different etiologies and pathogenesis mechanisms. Hemoptysis may happen following infarction and ischemia of pulmonary parenchyma as seen in pulmonary embolism, vasculitis, and infections. Another mechanism of hemoptysis is vascular engorgement with erosion as seen in bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and toxic exposure to cigarette and other irritants. In some cases underlying cause can not be identified and they are considered as idiopathic. However, they might present with massive hemoptysis. There are multiple conditions that are associated with hemoptysis which include granulomatosis with polyangiitis, sarcoidosis, immunodeficiency, and indoor ice hockey play.
