Abstract

We report the cases of two pediatric patients in whom therapeutic embolization was carried out to control life-threatening situations. The first one was a male, aged two and half years, with massive hemoptysis. The second one was a ten-year old girl with massive proteinuria due to nephritic syndrome that was causing hypoproteinemia and malnutrition. For this situation she could not be programmed for renal transplantation. No complications arose during the procedures and in both patients the outcome was favorable.
