Image Manifestation of Bronchial Arteriography and Results of Bronchial Artery Embolization for Massive Bronchiectasic Hemoptysis

Objective To clarity the image manifestation of BAG(bronchial arteriography) and results of BAE(bronchial artery embolization) for the massive bronchiectasic hemoptysis.Methods 43 patients of themassive bronchiectasic hemoptysis were performed BAG to observe abnormal phenomena of bronchial artery and BAE to observe the immediate effects and long-term results of nonrecurrence.Results All patients` BAG showed abnormal vessels,including different degree hypervascularity,proliferation and derangement.Serious cases were accompanied by blooding stains in the segment or lobe.Some patients have broncho—arterial fistula or arteriovenous macformation.Their immediate effects and long—term results of BAE were very paramount.Conclusion BAG and BAE are proven to be effective in the diagnosis search and therapy for the massive bronchiectasic hemoptysis.
