Title: Transcatheter bronchial artery interventional treatment of hemoptysis in children:a clinical study
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of transcatheter bronchial artery interventional treatment for hemoptysis in children,and to discuss the cause for complications.Methods Bronchial artery and pulmonary artery angiography with DSA were performed in 10 children with hemoptysis of unknown reason,and bronchial artery drug infusion and embolization were simultaneously carried out.Gelatin sponge particles used as the embolization agent was employed in 8 children and Gelatin sponge thread combined with coils was adopted in two children.Results Technical success was achieved in all 10 children.Immediate hemostasis after interventional management was obtained in 8 cases.Obvious relief of hemoptysis was seen in one case,and the hemoptysis stopped after conservative treatment for 3-5 days.One patient had to receive second embolization as the hemoptysis showed no improvement.No serious complications such as spinal damage or ectopic embolism occurred in all patients.Conclusion Transcatheter bronchial artery interventional treatment for hemoptysis in children is minimally-invasive,effective and fast-hemostatic with fewer complications.Therefore,this technique can be employed as the therapy of first choice when conservative measures fail to control the hemoptysis.
