The treated and monitored 42 patients showed that the hemostatic results were at good in patients with merely bronchial arterial dilatation such as the chronic broncho-pulmonary diseases and the pulmonary injuries due to the bullet. This technique should be applied for patients with the long lasting hemoptysis that the internal treatment was ineffective and never or not indicated for operation.
