Transarterial Embolization for the Management of Emergent Hemoptysis in Patients With Primary and Metastatic Lung Tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the role of systemic arterial embolization in patients with primary and metastatic lung tumors presenting with hemoptysis requiring emergent management.

Patients and methods

This retrospective single-center study evaluated patients undergoing transarterial embolization for emergent hemoptysis. Endpoints included technical success, clinical success and overall survival. Clinical success was divided into partial or complete, and defined as absence (complete) or subtotal (partial) reduction in frequency and/or volume of hemoptysis in the first 24-hours following embolization. Predictive factors for clinical outcomes were evaluated using univariate analysis. Adverse events were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
