title: Temporary unilateral pulmonary artery occlusion: a method for controlling Swan-Ganz catheter-induced hemoptysis.
abstract: A patient undergoing mitral and aortic valve replacement suffered catheter-induced pulmonary artery trauma and massive hemoptysis during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. Hemorrhage ceased when the ipsilateral pulmonary artery was occluded. Forty-eight hours later the temporary band was removed, and the patient did well without further bleeding.
