Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of bronchial artery embolization ( BAE) for massive hemoptysis due to bronchiectasis.Methods 205 patients with massive hemoptysis were treated with bronchial artery embolization using coils, polyvinyl alcohol ( PVA) microspheres, line segmen, and gelatin sponge after the site of bleeding or the abnormal arteries were identified by arteriography. Super selective bronchial artery embolization was performed with a coaxial microcatheter inserted into the bronchial artery. Results BAE was successfully performed in 205 cases with massive hemoptysis ( left and right bronchial artery embolization in 35 cases, left bronchial artery embolization in 20 cases, right bronchial artery embolization in 126 cases, common bronchial artery embolization in 22 cases, right inferior phrenic artery embolization in 2 cases) . Of 205 patients, 169 were cured, 24 were relieved with a success rate of 94.1% . Long termcumulative hemoptysis nonrecurrence rates was 82.4% . 23 patients developed post embolization syndrome characterized by mild fever and chest pain and ended with spontaneous recovery without special management. No severe complications including spinal cord injury or dystopia embolization were observed. Conclusions Bronchial arterial embolization interventional therapy is a rapid, safe and effective method in the treatment of massive hemoptysis due to bronchiectasis.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical data of pulmonary lobectomy in patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis after bronchial artery embolization in the short and long term, so as to provide a reference for clinical choices of appropriate operation time.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis, who had received pulmonary lobectomy after bronchial artery embolization in Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital from January 2015 to November 2017, including 29 males and 4 females aged of 23-66 (52.64±9.70) years. According to the time interval between bronchial artery embolization and lobectomy, the patients were divided into a short-term group (<2 weeks, 14 patients) and a long-term group (>1 month, 19 patients). The clinical data, such as operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative extubation time and serious postoperative complications, were observed in the two groups for statistical analysis.ResultsThe operative time (297.13±75.69 min vs. 231.32±67.57 min, P=0.013), intraoperative blood loss (685.74±325.51 mL vs. 355.83±259.11 mL, P=0.002), postoperative extubation time (14.07±5.24 d vs. 8.90±3.57 d, P=0.003) of the short-term group were all higher than those in the long-term group.ConclusionFor the patients with massive hemoptysis of pulmonary tuberculosis, who had surgical indications and no risk of early rebleeding after bronchial artery embolization, pulmonary lobectomy should be performed late until the patient's physical condition and the primary disease was stable.
目的:对选择性支气管动脉栓塞术(SBAE) 治疗支气管扩张大咯血的疗效做客观评价,并就该技术的操作要点、注意事项等诸方面的技术问题做进一步探讨总结。方法:对32例内科保守治疗无危急生命的支气管扩张大咯血患者行介入法供血支气管动脉栓塞, 其中男18例, 女14例, 平均年龄46岁.结果:所有病例都成功实施了供血动脉栓塞, 术后除1例无效外均出血停止, 无严重并发症发生。结论:SBAE作为治疗支气管扩张大咯血的急救手段之一,具有创伤轻微、可重复性强、疗效高、见效快、并发症少、简便易行等特点,极具推广应用价值。
