Abstract:
Broncho-pulmonary bleeding is very frequent broncho-pulmonary diseases with a bleeding percentage of 48% of patients who entered the hospital’s emergency department. Embolisation of the bronchial arteries is an useful technique which can control those bleedings. The authors used Remy’s embolisation technique with some improvement. A catheter was introduced from femoral artery to bronchial artery of the wounded lung avoiding abnormal distribution of this artery and embolisation was made with spongel or gelaspon pieces. 8 embolisation were practiced with successful results.
