A retrospective analysis of risk factors in recurrent hemoptysis patients with non-bronchial systematic artery feeding.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hemoptysis is a symptom of a life-threatening condition. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is recommended to control hemoptysis. However, non-bronchial systematic arteries (NBSAs) can be culprit vessels, particularly in recurrent hemoptysis patients after embolization, according to recent studies. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to retrospectively assess the risk factors of recurrent hemoptysis patients with NBSA feeding after interventional embolization.

Methods

Between January 2014 and December 2017, a total of 545 patients underwent interventional embolization for hemoptysis. A total of 93 patients who were confirmed to have NBSA feeding and underwent embolization were enrolled. Patients' demographic characteristics, clinical information, labo
