Our objective is to demonstrate the percutaneous closure of a disrupt of the bronchial artery which causes hemoptysis. Clinical case: a 49-years old woman with mild hemoptysis and the presence of an abnormal bronchial artery bleeding that underwent percutaneous closure device plug. The device was implanted without complications and it was not observed passage of dye into the bronchial artery occluded through the pigtail catheter angiography control.
