Successful treatment of acute hemoptysis of bronchiectasis by thoracoscopic bronchial artery ligation
نویسنده
چکیده
Background Acute massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition. Traditionally, bronchial artery embolization and lung resection are the treatment options. But there is high recurrence rate after bronchial artery embolization and some patients are not suitable for or can’t tolerate lung resection. We develop thoracoscopic bronchial artery ligation as another treatment option. This is the first report to apply this procedure in treatment of acute life-threatening hemoptysis in bronchiectasis.

34 bronchial and 13 intercostal arteries were selectively embolized in 27 patients. The most frequent predisposing factor was either active or residual pulmonary tuberculosis. The procedure was performed with Urografin as the contrast agent, cobra shaped or headhunter catheters, and gelfoam (no. 18) or Ivalon (no. 9) particles. The most common anatomic pattern was a common bonchial artery ...
