Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the added value of pre-procedural computed tomography angiography (CTA) prior to bronchial artery embolization for patients presenting with hemoptysis.
 Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluated patients admitted for hemoptysis from 2010 to 2021 and treated by catheter-directed embolization. After establishing quality criteria for pre-procedural computed tomography (CT), patients were divided into two groups depending on their pre-procedural imaging assessment: Quality CT-angiography (QCTA group) and suboptimal pre-procedural imaging (suboptimal CTA, unenhanced or no CT evaluation; control group). Groups were compared based on radiological success, procedure-related complications, and clinical success, including cessation of hemoptysis, recurrence rates, and overall mortality.
 Results: We included 31 patients in the QCTA group, and 35 in the control group. Clinical success was n = 24/31 (77.4%) in the QCTA group and n = 27/35 (77.1%) in the control group (p = 0.979). Technical success was n = 37/42 (88.1%) in the QCTA group and n = 39/42 (92.86%) in the control group (p = 0.820). Overall recurrence was 10.6%. Minor complications occurred in 27.3%, and one major complication was reported.
 The concordance between the affected bleeding lung and the identification of pathological arteries during angiography was better in the QCTA group (p = 0.045).
 The average number of culprit arteries (bronchial, non-bronchial systemic arteries [NBSA] or pulmonary) in the QCTA group was not significantly higher than that in the control group.
 Conclusions: Preprocedural QCTA better identifies the affected bleeding lung and bleeding vessels compared to direct angiography. No difference in clinical success, complications, recurrence rates, or mortality was observed.
