Immediate and Late Outcomes of Bronchial and Systemic Artery Embolization for Palliative Treatment of Patients With Nonsmall-Cell Lung Cancer Having Hemoptysis; W9 ?: ~# A {- D6 P0 z4 j$ C
Background: Hemoptysis in patients with advanced lung cancer can be a life threatening.7 O8 }" v- b$ d- o: F/ O
Objectives: To evaluate immediate outcomes and late outcomes of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for palliative treatment in patients with advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) having hemoptysis. & n9 n/ d& w3 y3 G- |5 RMethods: The BAE was performed in 28 patients with NSCLC. Hemoptysis was defined as follows: massive bleeding greater than 300 mL within 24 hours (n = 8), moderate bleeding of 100 to 300 mL within 24 hours (n =12), and slight bleeding less than100 mL within 24 hours (n = 8).% W1 J+ q7 @4 M6 @6 F. u" f: U
Results: Success rate was 96%. Immediate clinical success within 24 hours after BAE was achieved in 22 of the 27 patients who underwent embolization.( g$ M! V& r3 Y
Conclusions: The BAE with gelatin sponge particles can provide good management of hemoptysis as a palliative treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC.
