[Interventional pneumology: procedures for pulmonary hemorrhage and tumor-induced superior vena cava syndrome].
Interventional pneumology includes both bronchological and vascular methods of diagnostic and therapy, especially in case of pneumological emergency, such as pulmonary hemorrhage and superior vena cava syndrome. In massive pulmonary hemorrhage bronchological diagnosis is needed to determine the location and activity of the bleeding, as well as angiography of bronchial arteries, and of pulmonary arteries, respectively. Bronchus occlusion by aid of balloon catheter or double lumen tube are intermediate methods to bridge over till defenitive surgery or embolisation of bronchial or pulmonal arteries as complementary methods in patients with pulmonary hemorrhage. In patients suffering from superior vena cava syndrome caused by neoplasms venous angioplasty and Wallstent implantation provide immediate clinical improvement.
