Combining transcatheter arterial embolization with endoscopic debulking for hypervascular airway tumor management: a retrospective single center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Airway obstruction due to tumor invasion or concurrent respiratory distress and hemoptysis poses a significant challenge in clinical management, often requiring prompt and effective intervention to alleviate symptoms and improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) as a preparatory measure to mitigate airway obstruction before bronchoscopic debulking as an approach to address this clinical challenge.

Methods

The data of patients with airway obstruction due to tumor invasion or concurrent respiratory distress and hemoptysis treated at The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to August 2022 were analyzed. After computed tomography (CT) scans and br
