[Radiological exploration of pulmonary systemic hypervascularization. Study of our results concerning 83 cases. Confrontation of the angiographic results with the existence of hemoptysis (author's transl)].

The authors present the results of selective bronchial and parietal arteriography of pulmonary systemic hypervascularization, in 83 cases. They emphasize the advantages of previous pulmonary venous angiography and overall aortography for the success of selective injections. Failures are evaluated at 6 to 7%. On occasions, a medullary branch was opacified. No medullary accidents were noted. The angiographic appearances of the lesions encountered are described. A comparative study of the angiographic results of non-tumoral acquired lesions was carried out in those patients with hemoptysis and in those who were free from them.
