Abstract

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of the bronchial artery embolization(BAE) for the treatment of life-threatening hemoptysis. Methods: The clinical data of 43 patients with life-threatening hemoptysis treated by BAE were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were followed up for 6 months or more. The effective rate, recurrence rate and complications were analyzed. Results: A total of 91 arteries were found to be responsible for hemoptysis, including 76.9%(70/91) bronchial arteries and 23.1%(21/91) non-bronchial arteries. The effective rate of treatment was 95.3%(41/43) and the recurrence rate of hemoptysis was 14.0%(6/43) after 6 months of follow-up, and no serious complications occurred. Conclusion: BAE is an effective and safe treatment for patients with life-threatening hemoptysis.
