Abstract:
Objective To evaluate and conpare the immediate and long-term results of bronchial artery embolization(BAE) with different embolic agents for treating bronchiectasis accompaneid by massive hemoptysis.Methods BAE was undertaken in 32 patients with hemoptysis.Particles of PVA or gelatin sponge were used separately as embolic agents.Immediate and long-term results were evaluated separately by the different embolic agents. Results BAE was taken in 32 patients with hemoptysis dividing into two groups with 16 for each group alternatively received GS or PVA.One patient had recurrence at the 3rd day of BAE.29 patients were followed up and 8 of them had recurrent hemoptysis including 7 embolized with GS,and 1 PVA.Conclusions As embolic agents to treat bronchiectasis with massive hemoptysis,the effect of PVA is better than that of GS.500 ?m PVA is the best of choice.
