Abstract
Background: hemoptysis is a sign that can be secondary to various clinical entities. Depending on the amount of bleeding, it may even endanger the patient’s life. The presence of a dilated and tortuous bronchial artery may explain the hemoptysis, whose treatment consists in closing the vessel. Our objective is to demonstrate the percutaneous closure of a disrupt of the bronchial artery which causes hemoptysis.
Clinical case: a 49-years old woman with mild hemoptysis and the presence of an abnormal bronchial artery bleeding that underwent percutaneous closure device plug. The device was implanted without complications and it was not observed passage of dye into the bronchial artery occluded through the pigtail catheter angiography control. The patient had no further episodes of hemoptysis.
Conclusions: pulmonary arteriovenous malformations can be treated successfully by the percutaneous route.
