A New Method of Aimed Bronchography

István Kertes M.D.1

1 National Institute for Tuberculosis "Koranyi"

1. Bronchoscopy is necessary but not sufficient in the diagnosis of small orifices of the bronchial system.

2. Standard bronchography procedures, such as total unilateral filling with contrast substances or aimed bronchography through Metras catheter are also inadequate methods for the diagnostic exploration of small orifices of the bronchial system.

3. Shape and direction of these tracts can only be made visible when filled through a catheter inserted into the orifice under optical control.

4. Our procedure helped to establish such rare diagnoses as excavated lymph node, peribronchial tuberculoma and pneumatocele.

5. The method described enables the aimed local administration of drugs into the explored pathologic area.
