Severe bronchial hemorrhage in 13 patients with cystic fibrosis was treated by catheter embolization of bronchial arteries. Indications were excesisive bleeding persisting for several days or bleeding serious enough to interfere with pulmonary drainage and recurring over weeks or months. In follow-up ranging from 1-30 mo., cessation of major bleeding was achieved in 12 of 13 patients (93%), although 5 of 13 patients (40%) had recurrence of minor hemoptysis. No neurologic or other major complications were encountered. There are potential risk; this approach should be limited to patients with life-threatening bleeding and carried out only by experienced angiographers.
