Description

The contribution explains the case of a young Turkish patient who had been suffering for several years from recurrent haemoptysis. The diagnostic findings revealed arterio-arterial shunts in the bronchial arteries due to tuberculous, fibrocirrhotic alteration of the lung structure to be the cause of the haemoptyses. The treatment applied, percutaneous bronchial artery embolisation, was successful and there was no recurrence to date. (orig./CB)
