Objective To probe into the angiographic signs and the variations of bronchial arteries for pulmonary tuberculosis or bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis.Methods 25 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and 15 patients suffered from bronchiectasis accompanied by massive hemoptysis were undertaken bronchial arterial embolization(BAE).All patients were embolized with gelfoam including 32 with spring coils in addition. Results 63 arteries demonstrated angiographic signs of hemoptysis in 40 patients.The immediate stanching rate was 92.5%(37/40). The bronchopulmonary shunt formation sign shown by angiograph was the major feature of tuberculosis(P=(0.0528)) and the enlarged tortuous arteries in bronchiectasis were more to be demonstrated than in tuberculosis(P
