[Therapeutic angiography in hemoptysis (author's transl)].

Clinical results of therapeutic bronchial artery embolization in 100 patients are presented. The most frequent causes were chronic fibroproductive tuberculosis and bronchiectasis. 85 patients were cured, 10 patients showed recurrent bleeding and in 4 patients bleeding could not be stopped. Complete embolization of all supplying vessels is of great importance to achieve successful results. Caution has to be applied not to risk medullary complications.
