ABSTRACT
A 78-year-old woman underwent right S6 segmentectomy and upper lobe partial resection for adenocarcinoma. About 11 months after the operation, she was diagnosed as having empyema with bronchopleural fistula and open thoracotomy was performed. From the following day, active hemorrhage from the pulmonary artery into the thoracic cavity(500~800 ml) repeated. Tamponade, surgical treatment such as putting hemostasis sheet, or covering with a pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap could not prevent rebleeding. Therefore selective pulmonary artery coil embolization was performed, after that the rebleeding did not occur.
