  		Fig. 1B. —53-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis. After embolization of left bronchial artery using Gelfoam ([gelatin sponge particles], Pharmacia and Upjohn, Kalamazoo, MI) and microcoils, thoracic aortogram shows no remaining opacification of left bronchial artery or abnormal parenchymal stain in left upper lobe.

  		Fig. 1C. —53-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis. Late phase thoracic aortogram shows 5-French pigtail catheter (arrow) (Pig, Cook, Bloomington, IN) located distal to origin of left subclavian artery. Note microcoils (arrowhead) (Tornado, Cook) from initial embolization.

  		Fig. 2A. —35-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis. Bronchial arteriogram shows left bronchial artery to be hypertrophied along with abnormal parenchymal stain and systemic pulmonary shunt (arrow) in left upper lobe. Left bronchial artery was selected and embolized with polyvinyl alcohol particles (Contour, Boston Scientific, Cork, Ireland).
