title: [Use of arterial embolization in treatment of pulmonary hemorrhage].
abstract: Embolization of bronchial and systemic arteries is a method of choice in treatment of pulmonary hemorrhages in patients with existing contraindications to surgical therapy. Embolization was carried out in 57 patients with pulmonary hemorrhages in the course of pulmonary tuberculosis, mycetomas, bronchiectases, malignancy, vessel malformations and post-traumatic changes. In all patients it terminated hemorrhages. During the 5 year follow-up period recurrencies were seen in 14% of the patients warranting additional embolization.
