[The treatment of pulmonary hemorrhages].
Radical surgical manipulations at the peak of pulmonary hemorrhage are a great operative risk. Operations for bleeding destructive acute processes of the lungs cause the highest mortality and terminate, at best, by loss of the lung and invalidation of the patient. The method suggested by the authors for arresting pulmonary hemorrhage by ligation of the pulmonary artery with a ligature of absorbable material makes it possible to arrest the bleeding due to temporary blocking of the blood flow in the pulmonary artery of the diseased lung for the time needed for curing acute destruction which has a positive clinico-radiological dynamics due to nonoperative treatment.
