[Systemic pulmonary anastomosis: a rare cause of massive hemoptysis].
We report on the case of a 15-year-old boy with massive hemoptysis caused by anastomosis between bronchial and pulmonary arteries, successfully treated with embolization. No similar case was found in the literature, likely because of the high mortality rate of this type of malformation.
