Abstract
The case of a young girl with severe hemoptysis in a Kartagener's syndrome is described. Because bronchoscopy failed to locate the origin of the bleeding, preoperative angiography was performed. The patient was treated by resection of the middle lobe. The bronchus wall was located as the origin of bleeding.
