title: [Angioscopy of the pulmonary arteries].
abstract: The endoscopic investigation of the pulmonary arteries was developed during the 1980's. Current angioscopic techniques, which are still very limited in availability, enable an accurate endoluminal view and allow for a direct approach to endovascular obstruction. The authors describe the technique of angioscopy of the pulmonary arteries and also its indications.
