Abstract:
Objective To evaluate feasibility, effectiveness , safety, and complications of superselective bronchial artery embolization with coaxial microcatheter system for hemoptysis. Methods 32 times of superselective bronchial artery embolization were performed for 29 cases with hemoptysis resulted from a variety of causes, age grade from 35 to 71(mean 54) year old. The causes of hemoptysis included bronchiectasis (9 cases), tuberculosis (12 cases), and pulmonary carcinoma (8 cases). All studies were performed with standard percutaneous transfemoral catheterization. Results The success rate of superselective catheterization was 96 9% (32/33). Hemoptysis control was achieved in 96 9% (31/32), with complete control rate of 65.6% (21/32) and partial control rate of 31.3% (10 /32),inefficacy case:only one.One patient with bronchiectasis, 6 patients with pulmonary carcinoma and 3 patients with chronic fibrosis tuberculosis were included in the partial control group. Rebleeding occurred in 7 patients (4 patients with pulmonary carcinoma and 3 patients with chronic fibrosis tuberculosis) during 2 months to 32 months followed-up period. No severe complications occurred in the procedure. Conclusions Superselective bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis with coaxial microcatheter is a safe, effective way to control hemoptysis, has excellent long term efficacy, and without severe complications.
