• Recanalisation was the most common mechanism of recurrent haemoptysis after super-selective bronchial artery coil embolisation, followed by development of new haemoptysis-related arteries • These trends could be modified in several situations such as with antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications • Recurrent haemoptysis could be managed by 2nd series super-selective bronchial artery coil embolisation with a procedural success rate of 97.7% without any major complications.
