Abstract

Retrospective analysis was carried out on intervention treatment and the effects of massive hemoptysis of pulmonary aspergilloma. Twenty-five cases diagnosed as massive hemoptysis of pulmonary aspergilloma were performed with imaging of bronchial arteries and other related blood vessels in order to assess blood vessel type and the number involved in the disease and perform embolotherapy on the offending artery. There were 68 bleeding arteries in 25 cases, of which there were 36 bronchial arteries (52.94%), 15 intercostal arteries (22.06%), 9 internal thoracic arteries (16.17%), 5 inferior phrenic arteries (7.35%), and 3 pulmonary arterial branches (4.41%) and all of them were in embolism condition. For 25 cases, 21 bleeding cases were stopped immediately (84.00%), 3 bleeding cases were stopped after the 2nd embolism, and 1 case had a small amount of hemoptysis after surgery discontinuously, which was stopped after corresponding treatment with no severe complications. Ten cases used polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particulate embolization solely, 12 cases used PVA with spring coil and 3 cases used PVA, spring coil and N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue. In conclusion, patients who suffer from massive hemoptysis of pulmonary aspergilloma and whose medical treatments are not effective and who are not willing to receive surgical removal, intervention treatment is an effective method. PVA, spring coil and NBCA glue can be effectively used in hemoptysis embolism and pulmonary artery embolism can be considered when systemic embolism is not effective.
