Bronchial Artery Chemoembolization With Radiopaque Doxorubicin Eluding Beads in Patients With Malignant Hemoptysis from Metastatic Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:This pilot study was designed to assess the technical feasibility and safety of bronchial artery chemoembolization with radiopaque doxorubicin eluting beads (DEB-BACE) in patients with malignant hemoptysis from pulmonary metastasis. Materials & Methods: Four patients underwent DEB-BACE using 70-150 μm radiopaque DEB (LC Beads LUMI, Boston Scientific). Beads delivery and deposition were assessed under fluoroscopy and cone beam computed tomography (CT), respectively. Results: All 4 procedures were technically successful. Beads delivery and deposition were successfully visualized under fluoroscopy and cone beam CT guidance in all cases. Hemoptysis was resolved after embolization in all 4 patients. There were no adverse events or immediate or early complications af
