Transcatheter embolotherapy effectively treats massive hemoptysis by blocking lung bleeding from various arteries. This procedure shows high success rates with minimal complications, offering a reliable solution for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Massive hemoptysis is a critical condition requiring prompt intervention.
  • Lung bleeding can originate from diverse arterial sources beyond the bronchial arteries.
  • Understanding the collateral circulation between bronchial, intercostal, and pulmonary arteries is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter embolotherapy for massive hemoptysis.
  • To assess long-term outcomes of embolization in patients with lung bleeding.
  • To identify common origins of massive hemoptysis and effective embolization agents.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 70 patients undergoing transcatheter embolotherapy between 1980 and 1991.

  • Selective embolization of bronchial and/or other systemic arteries supplying the lungs.
  • Utilized embolization agents including IBC, NIBC, dura mater particles, and Ivalon+IBC.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful bleeding control was achieved in 50 out of 70 patients (71.4%) with a mean follow-up of 62 months.
    • The most frequent site of pathology was in vessels supplying the right upper-middle lung region.
    • Recurrent bleeding occurred in 5% of patients, originating from non-embolized vessels. No major complications were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Selective embolotherapy using tissue adhesives demonstrates excellent short-term (90%) and long-term (100%) success rates for massive hemoptysis.
    • While effective, 10% of patients required multiple embolization sessions for complete resolution.
    • Transcatheter embolotherapy is a safe and effective treatment option for massive hemoptysis, addressing complex arterial collateral networks.
