Abstract:
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of sandostatine with vasopressin in hemoptitis due to pulmonary tuberculosis. In general, the control rate of bleeding in sandostatine group was better than that in the vasopressin group. As shown in angiography, 2-5 minutes after injection of 0.05 mg of sandostatine, bronchial arteries, which were largely dilated in hemoptitis, are spectacularly constricted. Sandostatine had also fewer side effects than those of vasopressine
