Clinical value of multiple angiography and intra-arterial embolization in massive hemoptysis
2011
Objective To discuss the characteristics of multiple blood supplies and the significance of multiple intra-arterial embolization in massive hemoptysis. Methods Forty-four patients with massive hemoptysis underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and intra-arterial embolization after ineffective medical treatment. The characteristics of blood supply of lesions,the methods of intra-arterial embolization and the clinic efficacy were retrospectively analyzed. Results All the patients, one artery was embolized in 9 patients,2 arteries were embolized in 18,3 in 14 and 4 in 3. The hemoptysis decreased or ceased immediately after intra-arterial embolization in 43 patients and recurrence within lweek in 2,which were controlled with additional emblization. 1 patient died in surgery. Conclusion The lesions of massive hemoptysis had complicated blood supplies,and multiple intra-arterial embolization was very important.
