Repeated massive hemoptysis: successful control using multiple balloon-tipped catheters for endobronchial tamponade.

Abstract
Endobronchial tamponade with a balloon-tipped catheter (Fogarty catheter) is used to control massive hemoptysis. This case documents that recurrent massive hemoptysis can be successfully controlled with repeated use of this procedure and that the simultaneous placement of more than one catheter can be safe and effective therapy that is well tolerated by patients.
