RESUMO
In nine cases of pulmonary lesions in children, the diagnostic procedure of digital subtraction angiography was used with minimal invasiveness. Vascular anatomy was additionally confirmed by angiocardiography in four cases. One patient had a thoracotomy with removal of a nonvascular mass, whereas the other four patients, based on information provided by the digital subtraction angiogram, continued to be followed clinically. Using a peripheral vein for injection, intravenous subtraction angiography proved to be a satisfactory method of evaluating pulmonary vascular lesions and provided considerable information.
