Popis: To study the long-term outcome, safety, and complications of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in the treatment of patients with massive hemoptysis.A retrospective analysis of 232 cases of massive hemoptysis treated with BAE from February 2000 to February 2009 in our hospital was carried out. All cases were followed by repeated X-ray or CT examination, telephone calls, or questionnaires, with the longest period up to 9 years.There were 627 blood vessels which were totally embolized by 741 coils for the 232 cases. The hemoptysis was stopped instantly in 100% of the patients. 91.8% (213/232) of the cases were cured and 19 cases (19/232, 8.18%) were improved. The overall effective rate was 100% (232/232). No serious or delayed complications occurred. None of the patients died.Bronchial artery embolization is effective in cases with massive hemoptysis for its immediate effect and safety.
