  • Title: Management of major or massive hemoptysis in active pulmonary tuberculosis by bronchial arterial embolization.
    Author: Muthuswamy PP, Akbik F, Franklin C, Spigos D, Barker WL.
    Journal: Chest; 1987 Jul; 92(1):77-82. PubMed ID: 2439259.
    Abstract:
    Management of massive hemoptysis in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis is complicated. Transcatheter hemostatic embolization of bleeding vessels with absorbable material has been reported to be useful in controlling this problem. Twelve patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis who had major or massive hemoptysis were managed at Cook County Hospital, Chicago, from 1982 to 1986. Various methods of treatment have been evaluated. The technique of angiographic embolization and the criteria for selection of patients for its use constitute the basis of this report.
