Bronchial artery embolization, abbreviated BAE, is a catheter-based treatment for hemoptysis, or coughing up blood. It controls bleeding by embolizing the bronchial artery, the bleeding source, using particulate embolic material such as gelatin sponge or polyvinyl alcohol, or liquid embolic material such as NBCA glue or metallic coils.
