Bronchial artery embolization was first described in the literature in the 1970s by Remy [1], and over time it has become a well established treatment for patients with (massive) hemoptysis [2-5]. Technical improvements in both catheters and embolizing agents have attributed to the increase of the safety of the procedure and it s applicability. [Pg.263]

In this chapter the pathophysiology and etiology of hemoptysis will be discussed, as well as the diagnostic work-up of patients suffering from severe bronchial bleeding. Anatomy of bronchial arterial supply will be described. The techniques, pitfalls, complications and results of bronchial artery embolization will be discussed. [Pg.263]

Table 16.2 lists the materials most commonly used for bronchial artery embolization. [Pg.273]

Various embolic agents can be employed for bronchial artery embolization, and include gelatin sponge, microspheres and coils. [Pg.273]

Finally, operator experience in bronchial artery embolization is of crucial importance in achieving high success and low complication rates. Given the low incidence of acute massive hemoptysis, the risk that each patient represents a new learning experience is not unimaginable [38], and therefore bronchial artery embolization should only be performed by skilled operators (at least five to ten cases a year). [Pg.275]

Bronchial artery embolization is the treatment of choice in acute hemoptysis. [Pg.275]

The most commonly occurring complication encountered after bronchial artery embolization is (transient) chest pain, being reported in 24% up to 91% of cases. This is probably related to ischemia of embolized branches, and can be severe when intercostal branches are inadvertently embolized. Pleural pain can be avoided by using superselec-tive embolization techniques, with or without the use of large particles. The second most common complication is dysphagia, caused by embolization of esophageal branches, with a reported occurrence from 0.7% to 18.2% [30]. Spontaneous resolution of symptoms usually occurs. [Pg.275]

The most devastating complication is spinal cord ischemia, that has been reported to occur in 1.4%-6.5% of patients treated with bronchial artery embolization [9,30,39]. The occurrence of this complication can be reduced by using a superselective embolization technique, performing regular control angiograms before and after administration of embolic agents as has been described above.
