Therapeutic embolization in pediatric patients. Report of two cases from Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe (Medellín, Colombia) 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 nephrotic 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.
