  • Title: Treatment of massive hemoptysis by combined occlusion of pulmonary and bronchial arteries.
    Author: Bredin CP, Richardson PR, King TK, Sniderman KW, Sos TA, Smith JP.
    Journal: Am Rev Respir Dis; 1978 May; 117(5):969-73. PubMed ID: 350111.
    Abstract:
    Massive, life-threatening hemoptysis occurred in a patient with left upper lobe bronchiectasis secondary to old tuberculosis. Selective left bronchial arteriography showed extravasation of contrast medium in the bronchiectatic area. A marked decrease in hemoptysis occurred after selective left bronchial arterial embolization. Complete cessation of bleeding followed the inflation of a Swan-Ganz balloon catheter that had been placed in the left main pulmonary artery.
