New procedure: bronchoscopic endobronchial sealing; a new mode of managing hemoptysis.
Six patients with hemoptysis were treated by endobronchial sealing, with n-butyl cyanoacrylate, of the bleeding segment or subsegment. There was an immediate arrest of bleeding without any recurrence for a mean follow-up period of 127 (+/- 67.17) days. Endobronchial sealing appears to be an effective method of managing hemoptysis.
