Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the changes of bronchial mucosa observed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy after bronchial arterial embolization(BAE)treatment.Methods A total of 176 patients,who received BAE at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University of China from May 2019 to March 2024,were enrolled in this study.The pre-BAE and post-BAE bronchial mucosa was checked by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Results Of the 176 patients,fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed no abnormal findings in 143 and showed abnormal findings in 33.All the abnormal findings were mucosal congestion and oedema,in some cases coexisting vascular bulge was seen,but no manifestations of ischemia or necrosis of the bronchial mucosa could be found.In 22 patients,the preoperative and postoperative 7-day fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed that both preoperative and postoperative examinations showed no obvious abnormalities of the bronchial mucosa in 13 patients,preoperative examination had abnormalities of the bronchial mucosa in 9 patients,postoperative examination showed no obvious abnormalities of the bronchial mucosa in 3 patients,and in one patient the postoperative degree of bronchial mucosal congestion and oedema was significantly improved when compared with its preoperative degree.Conclusion BAE does not cause ischemic necrosis or shedding of bronchial mucosa,and BAE can reduce the degree of bronchial mucosal congestion in some patients.
