Abstract

Objective: Our purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the bronchial and non-bronchial systemic arterial embolization for control of hemoptysis.
Materials and Methods: 20 cases of seventeen patients with massive or recurrent hemoptysis underwent percutaneous transcatheter embolization between January 1999 and September 2001. We reviewed 26 cases of bronchial artery embolization and 17 cases of nonbronchial systemic artery embolization.
Results: Immediate control of hemoptysis was achieved in 16 of 20(80%) cases. The cause of hemoptysis was tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, and chronic bronchitis.
Conclusion: Bronchial artery embolization is an effective and life saving procedure in non-surgical and preoperative candidates. Recognition and occlusion of non-bronchial systemic arterial that feed to hypervascular pulmonary lesion is essential for successful embolotherapy of hemoptysis.
