Bronchial angiography: a report of 21 patients
Abstract:
Angiographic studies of the bronchial and other systemic thoracic arteries were requested by referring physicians in 21 patients, in 18 cases because of hemoptysis. Selective catheterization was carried out in 18 of the 21, and in an additional two patients the bronchial arteries were identified by thoracic aortography. Five examples of effective therapeutic embolization are discussed. Bronchial angiography and embolization appear to be of value in the diagnosis and treatment of hemoptysis.
