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.

The selective bronchial embolism induction has been applied to treat the hemoptysis due to bronchopulmonary diseases in ViÖt §øc hospital since 1980. 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.
