  • Title: Treatment of severe haemoptysis by embolisation of the bronchial artery. A case report.
    Author: Aspelin P, Kalén N, Svanberg L.
    Journal: Scand J Respir Dis; 1979 Feb; 60(1):20-3. PubMed ID: 441695.
    Abstract:
    A case report is presented of a 50-year-old man with severe haemoptysis. The exact source of the bleeding was not known and medical treatment had no effect. Selective angiography of the bronchial arteries showed extravasation of the contrast medium into a bronchus. Embolisation of the bleeding bronchial artery caused the haemoptysis to stop immediately.
