Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) has been accepted as an effective treatment for bronchiectasis-related hemoptysis. However, rare clinical trials compare different sizes of specific embolic agents. This study aims to evaluate whether different Embosphere microsphere sizes change the outcome of BAE. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on consecutive patients with bronchiectatic hemoptysis who were scheduled to undergo BAE treatment during a period from January 2018 to December 2022. The patients received BAE using microspheres of different sizes: group A patients were treated with 500-750 μm microspheres, and group B patients were treated with 700-900 μm microspheres. The cost of embolic microspheres (Chinese Yuan, CNY), duration of hospitalization, complications, and hemoptysis-free survival were compared between patients in group A and those in group B. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify predictors of recurrent hemoptysis. RESULTS Median follow-up was 30.2 months (range, 20.3-56.5 months). The final analysis included a total of 112 patients (49-77 years of age; 45 men). The patients were divided into two groups: group A (N = 68), which received 500-750 μm Embosphere microspheres, and group B (N = 44), which received 700-900 μm Embosphere microspheres. Except for the cost of embolic microspheres(group A,5314.8 + 1301.5 CNY; group B, 3644.5 + 1192.3 CNY; p = 0.042), there were no statistically significant differences in duration of hospitalization (group A,7.2 + 1.4 days; group B, 8 + 2.4days; p = 0.550), hemoptysis-free survival (group A, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 85.9%, 75.8%, 62.9%; group B, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, 88.4%, 81.2%,59.4%;P = 0.060), and complications(group A,26.5%; group B, 38.6%; p = 0.175) between the two groups. No major complications were observed. The multivariate analysis results revealed that the presence of cystic bronchiectasis (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.12-2.83; P = 0.001) and systemic arterial-pulmonary shunts (SPSs) (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.10-2.72; P = 0.028) were independent risk factors for recurrent bleeding. CONCLUSIONS For the treatment of BAE in patients with bronchiectasis-related hemoptysis, 500-750 μm diameter Embosphere microspheres have a similar efficacy and safety profile compared to 700-900 μm diameter Embosphere microspheres, especially for those without SPSs or cystic bronchiectasis. Furthermore, the utilization of large-sized (700-900 μm) Embosphere microspheres is associated with the reduced cost of an embolic agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoptysis due to airway hemorrhage is treated with hemostatic agents, bronchial artery embolization (BAE), or surgical resection. We present the case of a 65-year-old man with refractory hemoptysis associated with chronic progressive pulmonary aspergillosis (CPPA) who failed to respond to combined endobronchial occlusion (EBO) with endobronchial Watanabe spigot (EWS) and BAE. CASE REPORT A 63-year-old man was diagnosed with CPPA in the right upper lung and presented to our hospital 2 years later for hemoptysis at age 65. He developed severe hemoptysis during an outpatient visit, and was urgently admitted, intubated, and ventilated to prevent choking on blood clots. Chest computed tomography showed a large mass in the apical portion of the right lung, constituting apical pleural thickening and an encapsulated pleural effusion, and dilatation in the bronchial artery supplying the right upper lung lobe. Bronchoscopy revealed the right upper lobe B1-B3 as the bleeding source. The patient had recurrent hemoptysis that was not controlled by BAE or 6 EBO+EWS procedures, and he ultimately died of hypoxemia.In the literature review, EBO+EWS can effectively control hemoptysis in appropriate cases, without the need for BAE or surgical lung resection. It is less invasive, is associated with fewer adverse events than BAE or surgery, and can achieve temporary hemostasis for severe hemoptysis. CONCLUSIONS BAE and EBO+EWS were ineffective in controlling recurrent hemoptysis caused by CPPA in this case. However, a multidisciplinary approach such as attempting hemostasis with combined EBO+EWS and BAE may be a viable treatment option in severe cases of hemoptysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pneumonia is a common and major cause of mortality after radical esophagectomy. Intraoperative preservation of the bronchial arteries is often aimed at avoiding tracheobronchial ischemia; however, it is unknown whether this contributes to a reduction in postoperative pneumonia. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 348 consecutive patients who underwent radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer at Toranomon Hospital from January 2011 to July 2018. We classified patients into a bronchial artery-resected (BA-R) group (n = 93) and a bronchial artery-preserved (BA-P) group (n = 255) and compared the incidence of postoperative pneumonia between the two groups. A propensity score-matching analysis for bronchial artery preservation versus resection was performed. RESULTS Overall, 182 patients were matched. Univariate analysis of the propensity score-matched groups showed that Brinkman index ≥ 400, vital capacity (%VC) < 80%, and bronchial artery resection were associated with the development of postoperative pneumonia. Multivariate analysis revealed three significant factors associated with postoperative pneumonia: Brinkman index ≥ 400 [p = 0.006, odds ratio (HR) 3.302, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.399-7.790], %VC < 80% (p = 0.034, HR 6.365, 95% CI 1.151-35.205), and bronchial artery resection (p = 0.034, HR 2.131, 95% CI 1.060-4.282). The incidence of postoperative complications (CD grade III) was higher in the BA-R group (BA-R 42.8% versus BA-P 27.5%, p = 0.030). There was no significant difference in overall survival between the two groups at 5 years (BA-R 63.1% versus BA-P 72.1%, p = 0.130). CONCLUSION Preserving the bronchial artery is associated with a decreased incidence of postoperative pneumonia.

Abstract
Bronchial artery embolisation (BAE) is a treatment used to manage haemoptysis. We performed a 7-year review of BAE procedures for haemoptysis at our CF centre aiming to evaluate the incidence and outcomes of patients with neurovascular complications post-BAE. Our review suggests that whilst BAE is an effective method for controlling life-threatening haemoptysis, patients are at risk of developing neurovascular complications with long term residual symptoms, and therefore careful consideration should be given in offering BAE, especially to otherwise well patients with chronic small volume haemoptysis and managing teams should have a low threshold to image symptomatic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease is characterised by progressive airway wall thickening and widening. We aimed to validate an artificial intelligence-based algorithm to assess dimensions of all visible bronchus-artery (BA) pairs on chest CT scans from patients with CF. METHODS The algorithm fully automatically segments the bronchial tree; identifies bronchial generations; matches bronchi with the adjacent arteries; measures for each BA-pair bronchial outer diameter (Bout), bronchial lumen diameter (Bin), bronchial wall thickness (Bwt) and adjacent artery diameter (A); and computes Bout/A, Bin/A and Bwt/A for each BA pair from the segmental bronchi to the last visible generation. Three datasets were used to validate the automatic BA analysis. First BA analysis was executed on 23 manually annotated CT scans (11 CF, 12 control subjects) to compare automatic with manual BA-analysis outcomes. Furthermore, the BA analysis was executed on two longitudinal datasets (Copenhagen 111 CTs, ataluren 347 CTs) to assess longitudinal BA changes and compare them with manual scoring results. RESULTS The automatic and manual BA analysis showed no significant differences in quantifying bronchi. For the longitudinal datasets the automatic BA analysis detected 247 and 347 BA pairs/CT in the Copenhagen and ataluren dataset, respectively. A significant increase of 0.02 of Bout/A and Bin/A was detected for Copenhagen dataset over an interval of 2 years, and 0.03 of Bout/A and 0.02 of Bin/A for ataluren dataset over an interval of 48 weeks (all p<0.001). The progression of 0.01 of Bwt/A was detected only in the ataluren dataset (p<0.001). BA-analysis outcomes showed weak to strong correlations (correlation coefficient from 0.29 to 0.84) with manual scoring results for airway disease. CONCLUSION The BA analysis can fully automatically analyse a large number of BA pairs on chest CTs to detect and monitor progression of bronchial wall thickening and bronchial widening in patients with CF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SHIP-CT showed that 48-week treatment with inhaled 7% hypertonic saline (HS) reduced airway abnormalities on chest CT using the manual PRAGMA-CF method relative to isotonic saline (IS) in children aged 3-6 years with cystic fibrosis (CF). An algorithm was developed and validated to automatically measure bronchus and artery (BA) dimensions of BA-pairs on chest CT. Aim of the study was to assess the effect of HS on bronchial wall thickening and bronchial widening using the BA-analysis. METHODS The BA-analysis (LungQ, version 2.1.0.1, Thirona, Netherlands) automatically segments the bronchial tree and identifies the segmental bronchi (G0) and distal generations (G1-G10). Dimensions of each BA-pair are measured: diameters of bronchial outer wall (Bout), bronchial inner wall (Bin), bronchial wall thickness (Bwt), and artery (A). BA-ratios are computed: Bout/A and Bin/A to detect bronchial widening and Bwt/A and Bwa/Boa (=bronchial wall area/bronchial outer area) to detect bronchial wall thickening. RESULTS 113 baseline and 102 48-week scans of 115 SHIP-CT participants were analysed. LungQ measured at baseline and 48-weeks respectively 6,073 and 7,407 BA-pairs in the IS-group and 6,363 and 6,840 BA-pairs in the HS-group. At 48 weeks, Bwt/A (mean difference 0.011; 95%CI, 0.0017 to 0.020) and Bwa/Boa (mean difference 0.030; 95% 0.009 to 0.052) was significantly higher (worse) in the IS-group compared to the HS-group representing more severe bronchial wall thickening in the IS-group (p=0.025 and p=0.019 respectively). Bwt/A and Bwa/Boa decreased and Bin/A remained stable from baseline to 48 weeks in the HS while it declined in the IS-group (all p<0.001). There was no difference in progression of Bout/A between two treatment groups. CONCLUSION The automatic BA-analysis showed a positive impact of inhaled HS on bronchial lumen and wall thickness, but no treatment effect on progression of bronchial widening over 48 weeks.

Abstract
We present a patient with life-threatening airway bleeding from an infectious pulmonary cavity with limited treatment options. Bronchial artery embolization was unsuccessful. Surgery was not feasible due to compromised lung function. Lung transplant was considered but not endorsed. Palliative hemostatic radiotherapy with 20 Gy in 5 fractions was delivered to the site of bleeding as a last resort. Hemoptysis gradually disappeared within a month and did not recur during the 4‑month follow-up. There were no side effects. We highlight the potential of radiotherapy for massive hemoptysis of infectious etiology, especially in cases with exhausted standard treatment options.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment for massive haemoptysis caused by pulmonary pseudoaneurysm (PAP). METHODS The clinical data, imaging data, and endovascular treatment protocol of 23 patients with massive haemoptysis caused by continuous PAP were retrospectively analysed. The success, complications, postoperative recurrence rate, and influence of the treatment on pulmonary artery pressure were also evaluated. RESULTS Nineteen patients with a bronchial artery-pulmonary artery (BA-PA) and/or nonbronchial systemic artery-pulmonary artery (NBSA-PA) fistula underwent bronchial artery embolization (BAE) and/or nonbronchial systemic artery embolization (NBSAE) + pulmonary artery embolization (PAE). The pulmonary artery (PA) pressures before and after embolization were 52.11 ± 2.12 (35-69 cmH2O) and 33.58 ± 1.63 (22-44 cmH2O), respectively (P = 0.001). Four patients did not have a BA-PA and/or NBSA-PA fistula. Embolization was performed in two patients with a distal PAP of the pulmonalis lobar arteria. Bare stent-assisted microcoils embolization was performed in the other two patients with a PAP of the main pulmonary lobar arteries. The PA pressures of the four patients before and after treatment were 24.50 ± 1.32 (22-28 cmH2O) and 24.75 ± 1.70 (22-29 cmH2O), respectively (P = 0.850). The technique had a 100% success rate with no serious complications and a postoperative recurrence rate of 30%. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment is safe and effective for massive haemoptysis caused by PAP. BAE and/or NBSAE can effectively reduce pulmonary hypertension in patients with a BA-PA and/or NBSA-PA fistula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoptysis is a severe complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) for which bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is an efficient primary therapeutic option. However, recurrence is more frequent than for other etiologies of hemoptysis. PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of BAE in patients with CF and hemoptysis and predictive factors for recurrent hemoptysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study reviewed all adult patients with CF treated by BAE for hemoptysis in our center from 2004 to 2021. The primary endpoint was the recurrence of hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization. Secondary endpoints were overall survival and complications. We introduced the vascular burden (VB) defined as the sum of all bronchial artery diameters measured on pre-procedural enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans. RESULTS A total of 48 BAE were performed in 31 patients. A total of 19 recurrences occurred with a median recurrence-free survival of 3.9 years. In univariate analyzes, percentage of unembolized VB (%UVB) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.034, 95% confidence interval [CI=1.016-1.052; P < 0.001) and %UVB vascularizing the suspected bleeding lung (%UVB-lat) (HR = 1.024, 95% CI=1.012-1.037; P < 0.001) were associated with recurrence. In multivariate analyzes, only %UVB-lat remained significantly associated with recurrence (HR = 1.020, 95% CI=1.002-1.038; P = 0.030). One patient died during follow-up. No complication of grade 3 or higher was reported according to the CIRSE classification system for complications. CONCLUSION When possible, unilateral BAE seems sufficient in patients with CF with hemoptysis even in such a diffuse disease involving both lungs. The efficiency of BAE could be improved by thoroughly targeting all arteries vascularizing the bleeding lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly half of bronchiectasis patients receiving bronchial artery embolization (BAE) still have recurrent hemoptysis, which may be life-threatening. Worse still, the underlying risk factors of recurrence remain unknown. METHODS A retrospective cohort was conducted of patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis who received BAE from 2015 to 2019 at eight centers. Patients were followed up for at least 24 months post BAE. Based on the outcomes of recurrent hemoptysis and recurrent severe hemoptysis, a Cox regression model was used to identify risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS A total of 588 individuals were included. The median follow-up period was 34.0 months (interquartile range: 24.3-53.3 months). The 1-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year cumulative recurrent hemoptysis-free rates were 87.2%, 67.5%, 57.6%, and 49.4%, respectively. The following factors were relative to recurrent hemoptysis: 24-h sputum volume (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.99 [95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.25-3.15, p = 0.015]), isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HR = 1.50 [95% CI: 1.13-2.00, p = 0.003]), extensive bronchiectasis (HR = 2.00 [95% CI: 1.29-3.09, p = 0.002]), and aberrant bronchial arteries (AbBAs) (HR = 1.45 [95% CI: 1.09-1.93, p = 0.014]). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.728 [95% CI: 0.688-0.769]. CONCLUSIONS Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important independent predictor of recurrent hemoptysis. The clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa might effectively reduce the hemoptysis recurrence rate.

Abstract
Hemoptysis is a crucial entity taking into account its morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the leading cause for massive hemoptysis in our part of the world, which if left untreated may be life threatening. We present a case of a 37-year-old male patient with pulmonary tuberculosis with concurrent pulmonary thromboembolism presenting with massive hemoptysis, which was successfully managed with Bronchial Artery Embolization. This case represents that this measure can be a viable therapeutic choice for a patient with a severe lifethreatening hemoptysis, particularly when other treatment options are unavailable or ineffective.

Abstract
An African American man in his 30s presented with haemoptysis associated with chronic productive cough, exertional dyspnoea, weight loss and skin lesions. Physical examination was notable for multiple cutaneous plaques over upper extremities and face. CT chest showed bilateral upper lobes cavitations and left upper lobe mass like consolidation. Further workup revealed positive serum aspergillus IgG, respiratory culture grew Aspergillus fumigatus, skin biopsy showed non-caseating granuloma. A final diagnosis of concomitant chronic pulmonary aspergillosis and advanced fibrocavitary pulmonary sarcoidosis with cutaneous involvement was made. The patient was initiated on antifungal therapy without steroids due to the concern of worsening the fungal infection. However, he presented later with worsening haemoptysis requiring bronchial artery embolisation. Surgical intervention was recommended but the patient eventually declined. The patient continued to be followed up closely in the clinic and repeated chest imaging showed stable findings 3 months after initial presentation.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy, serum tumor markers, and miR-34 expression levels of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in patients with lung cancer with hemoptysis are investigated. 92 patients with lung cancer hemoptysis treated in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 are randomly selected, and 92 patients are randomly divided into the conservative group and the BAE group according to the number table method, with 46 patients in each group. The efficacy, overall survival (OS) rate, coagulation function, hemoptysis volume, serum tumor markers, and miR-34 expression are compared among all groups at different time points. The experimental results show that the BAE treatment can promote the expression of miR-34 and inhibit the expression of tumor markers, so it can improve the efficacy of patients with lung cancer hemoptysis, improve the symptoms of hemoptysis and coagulation function, and prolong the life cycle of patients.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the use and the efficacy of bronchial artery chemoembolization combined with 125I seed implantation in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) therapy based on the medical database. Methods A total of 102 patients with advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was treated with 125I seed implantation, and the observation group was treated with bronchial artery chemoembolization (BACE) combined with 125I seed implantation based on medical database. The clinical efficacy, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), glycan antigen 125 (CA125), peripheral blood CD3+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ T cells, insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R), S100 calcium-binding protein A2 (S100A2), long-term efficacy (time to disease progression, six-month survival rate, and one-year survival rate), and safety were then analyzed. Result The disease remission rate in the observation group was 62.75%, which was higher than that in the control group (41.18%). After 1 month and 3 months of treatment, the levels of serum CYFRA21-1, CEA, CA125, and IGF-1R were lower, while serum S100A2 was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). For safety assessment, we found that the incidences of neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and gastrointestinal reactions had no statistical differences between two groups. The time to disease progression in the observation group was 129.85 d longer than that in the control group, 89.74 d, and the six-month survival rate and 1-year survival rate were higher in the observation group relative to the control group. Conclusion Medical database-based BACE combined with 125I seed implantation in the therapy of advanced NSCLC patients has definite efficacy with certain safety, which can enhance antitumor effect and prolong survival rate in advanced NSCLC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the embolization of bronchial arteries and nonbronchial systemic arteries with n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in patients with hemoptysis. METHODS We analyzed a total of 55 consecutive patients with hemoptysis (14 mild, 31 moderate, and 10 massive) treated with the embolization of bronchial arteries and nonbronchial systemic arteries with n-butyl-cyanoacrylate between November 2013 and January 2020. The main variables analyzed were the rates of technical success, of clinical success, of recurrence, and of complications. Statistics included a descriptive analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. RESULTS Embolization was a technical success in 55 (100%) and a clinical success in 54 (98.2%). During follow-up (mean, 23.8 months; interquartile range, 9.7-38.2 months), hemoptysis recurred in 5 (9.3%) patients. The nonrecurrence rate was 91.9% one year after the initial procedure and 88.7% two years and four years after the initial procedure. Minor complications related with the procedure occurred in 6 (10.9%); no major complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS The embolization of bronchial arteries and nonbronchial systemic arteries with n-butyl-cyanoacrylate is safe and efficacious for controlling hemoptysis, resulting in low recurrence rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) with more diluted N-butyl-2- cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in patients with massive hemoptysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, there are 48 patients who underwent NBCA and BAE for massive hemoptysis between March 2018 and September 2021. Demographic data, technical and clinical results, immediate hemoptysis control, recurrent hemoptysis and complications were evaluated. RESULTS The technical success rate and immediate hemoptysis control were achieved in 97.9% and 93.7%, respectively. The 3 patients who were exitus within the first 10 days were removed from the follow-up range. During the follow-up period (range, 5 months-42 months; median, 27.5 months), recurrent hemoptysis was found in 3 of the 45 patients (6.6 %). Since 1 patient refused and one patient died within the first 24 hours, repeated BAE procedures were performed in 4 patients. A total of 55 sessions of BAE with NBCA was performed to 48 patients. The underlying diseases causing hemoptysis were determined to be bronchiectasis (n=16), tuberculosis (n=8), neoplasm (n=7), aspergilloma (n=3), and arteriovenous malformation (n=2). In 4 patients, bronchiectasis and tuberculosis were present together and in 8 patients, the cause could not be specified. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, BAE with more diluted NBCA is a safe and effective embolization method. In addition, the use of more diluted NBCA reduces the recurrence rates in patients with hemoptysis.

Abstract
Hemoptysis is the expectoration of blood from the lower respiratory tract, usually from bronchial arteries. The most common causes are acute respiratory infections, cancer, bronchiectasis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. No cause is identified in 20% to 50% of cases. Hemoptysis must be differentiated from pseudohemoptysis, which is blood that originates from nasopharyngeal or gastrointestinal sources. The initial evaluation includes determining the severity of bleeding and stability of the patient and may require bronchoscopy for airway protection. Mild hemoptysis comprises more than 90% of cases and has a good prognosis, whereas massive hemoptysis has a high mortality rate. A history and physical examination can assist in identifying an etiology, but diagnostic testing is often required. Chest radiography is a good initial test, but it has limited sensitivity for determining the site and etiology of the bleeding. Computed tomography and computed tomography angiography of the chest with intravenous contrast are the preferred modalities to determine the etiology of bleeding; however, bronchoscopy may also be needed. In addition to supportive medical treatment, management should include treatment of the underlying etiology because recurrence often takes place in the absence of treatment of the identified cause. Bronchial arterial embolization is used to treat massive hemoptysis, particularly when an involved artery is noted on computed tomography angiography. Surgery is reserved for patients whose medical treatment and embolization are not effective.

Abstract
A 51-year-old male arrived at our hospital by ambulance, presenting with a sudden onset of chest pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. Although emergency hemi-arch replacement was successfully performed, the blood pressure decreased and anemia acutely progressed. As chest X-ray revealed right lung opacity, a chest drain was inserted and 3,000 ml of bloody effusion was drawn over a period of 2 hours. Enhanced CT revealed hemothorax and extravasation of the right lung. Since the preoperative CT showed an abnormally dilated right bronchial artery, the branch vessels of the bronchial artery were considered to be the source of hemorrhage. Bronchial artery coil embolization was first performed, which decreased the bronchial artery flow, stabilizing the hemodynamics. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) was then performed, and the bleeding site at the surface of the lung was electrocauterized. Finally, the hemorrhage was controlled. This case suggests that the combination of coil embolization and VATS is an effective procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: Improve the results of the treatment of patients with pulmonary bleeding. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: We examined 57patients with lung bleeding different etiology, who were hospitalized in the department of Thoraco-Abdominal Surgery. All patients were divided into two groups - of the main group 27patients and the comparison group 30 patients, depend of ages, sex, nosological form, level of lung bleeding. Patients aged from 27 to 78 years, including 34 men (62,5%) and 23 women (37,5%.). The test diseases includes: bronchiectasis disease - in 21 (37,1 %), pulmonary fibrosis with malformation BA - in 14 (24,7 %), abscess of the lung - in 9 (15,9 %), polycystic lung disease - in 6 (12,7 %), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - in 5 (9,6 %). RESULTS Results: As a result of complete physical examination of patients with LB, it has been established that hemorrhage was the result of obstructive bronchitis in 14 patients (42%), there was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 7 (21%) and bronchiectasis was diagnosed in 6 (18%) patients. In 2 (6%) patients pulmonary hemorrhage was caused by community-acquired pneumonia. Central lung cancer was detected in 4 (12%) patients. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Bronchial artery angiography gives high efficiency in solving the problem of hemostasis in oncological and nonspecific lung diseases. Endovascular occlusion of bronchial arteries permits: to elaborate diagnosis because of the presence of specific angiographic signs of malignant tumor; to perform effective endovascular hemostasis.

Abstract
The patient was a 72-year-old man with a history of bronchiectasis. He was admitted to our hospital for an examination of hoarseness. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed bronchiectasis in the bilateral lungs and bronchial artery aneurysm in the mediastinum. To prevent rupture of the aneurysm, we imaged the bronchial artery aneurysm by selective bronchial artery angiography and performed bronchial artery embolization (BAE) with 19 platinum coils. Three months after successful BAE, his hoarseness had improved, and the bronchial artery aneurysm was reduced in size after 12 months. To our knowledge, this is the 1st report of BAE improving hoarseness due to bronchial artery aneurysm.

Abstract
Bronchial artery aneurysm(BAA) is quite rare, but its rupture is often lethal. Once it is found, treatments should be aggressively considered. A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed to have a 26 mm mediastinal BAA on computed tomography (CT) which was performed for screening. CT revealed a very short inflow vessel of the BAA and arteriovenous fistula at the outflow. Considering these features of the aneurysm, endovascular interventions deemed difficult and surgery was carried out. Because of the fragility, the aneurysm was resected together with the descending aorta and the graft replacement was performed under partial extracorporeal circulation. The patient has no untoward event for 1 year postoperatively. Although most recent reports advocate endovascular interventions, we think surgical treatment is a variable option in selected patients. Careful evaluation for each BAA case would be essential to determine the treatment strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoptysis is a common symptom associated with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA). While surgery is the primary choice to manage hemoptysis, it is often avoided because patients with CPA are more likely to have complications such as respiratory insufficiency and low pulmonary function. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) may be considered one of the treatments of massive and persistent hemoptysis for such patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 41 patients, admitted to National Hospital Organization Tokyo National Hospital, Tokyo, Japan with hemoptysis arising from CPA between January 2011 to December 2016, who were considered inoperable and had undergone BAE. RESULTS Out of the 41 cases analyzed in this study, 21 (51.2%) developed rebleeding after BAE within the mean follow-up duration of 24 months. The non-rebleeding rate of patients after BAE was 92.7% within a month and 65.8% within a year. Patients who developed rebleeding had significantly more non-bronchial systemic arteries responsible for the bleeding compared with patients who did not develop rebleeding (mean of 2.55 vs. 4.86, respectively, P = 0.011). Patients with stable or improved radiological findings demonstrated significantly lower rebleeding rates than those with radiological deterioration (P < 0.001). The non-rebleeding patients had significantly better survival than those with rebleeding (79.7% vs. 39.9% over 5 years, P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Bronchial artery embolization was effective in controlling hemoptysis in patients with CPA, especially those who could not undergo surgical resection. However, disease control of CPA was important to prevent rebleeding over the long term and to improve survival after BAE.

Abstract
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a large-vessel vasculitis affecting the aorta and its main branches. Hemoptysis can be experienced as the respiratory manifestation, but origination from a bronchial artery is rare. Ulcerative colitis (UC) shares genetic similarities with TAK; HLA-B52*01 is associated with TAK and UC. We herein report a patient who presented with hemoptysis from the right bronchial artery and was diagnosed with TAK during the follow-up of UC. Transcatheter embolization was performed, and prednisolone and tocilizumab induced remission. Complication of TAK should be considered in the clinical course of HLA-B52-positive UC patients, and tocilizumab may be a treatment option.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of gemcitabine administered via bronchial artery infusion (BAI) and IV infusion in advanced NSCLC patients. METHODS Patients were eligible if they had received at least two prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. Gemcitabine was administered via BAI as 600 mg/m2 on day one of cycle one, followed by IV as 1000 mg/m2 on day eight of cycle one, and IV on days one and eight of all subsequent cycles. Pharmacokinetics for gemcitabine and dFdU metabolite in plasma, and dFdCTP active metabolite in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were evaluated. Intensive pharmacokinetic sampling was performed after BAI and IV infusions during cycle one. RESULTS Three male patients (age range 59-68 years) were evaluated. All patients responded with stable disease or better. One PR was observed after cycle three, and the remaining had SD. Cmax (mean ± SD) following BAI for gemcitabine, dFdCTP, and dFdU were 7.71 ± 0.13, 66.5 ± 40.6, and 38 ± 6.27 µM and following IV infusion, 17 ± 2.36, 50.8 ± 3.61, and 83.2 ± 12.3 µM, respectively. The AUCinf (mean ± SD) following BAI for gemcitabine, dFdCTP, and dFdU were 6.89 ± 1.2, 791.1 ± 551.2, and 829.9 ± 217.8 µM h and following IV infusion, 12.5 ± 3.13, 584 ± 86.6, and 1394.64 ± 682.2 µM h, respectively. The AUC and Cmax of dFdCTP after BAI were higher than IV. The median OS was 6.27 months. No grade 3 or 4 toxicity was observed. The most common side effects were all grade ≤ 2 involving nausea, vomiting, rigor, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. CONCLUSIONS Systemic exposure to dFdCTP was higher after BAI than IV in two out of three patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effect of endovascular embolization (EVE) in the treatment of hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin in children. METHODS A total of 20 children with hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin who underwent EVE from January 2016 to November 2017 were enrolled. The method for embolization was analyzed and the clinical outcome was evaluated. RESULTS Offending vessels were bronchial artery (BA) in 14 children, non-bronchial systemic artery (NBSA) in 1 child, and BA and NBSA in 5 children. Of all the children, 13 underwent EVE with peripheral embolization agents and 7 underwent EVE with mechanical coils. A total of 41 offending vessels were embolized (34 BAs and 7 NBSAs) and all the children achieved immediate arrest of hemoptysis. Two children experienced recurrence within 6 months after EVE and 2 experienced recurrence with 6-24 months after EVE. The peripheral embolization agent group had a lower overall recurrence rate than the mechanical coil group [8%(1/13) vs 43%(3/7); P=0.10]. One child experienced intracranial ectopic embolism after surgery and had good quality of life during 20 months of follow-up after treatment. No other complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS EVE is a safe and effective method for the treatment of hemoptysis of systemic arterial origin in children and thus holds promise for clinical application.

Abstract
We report 5 patients with hemoptysis due to infectious pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) treated with endovascular embolization using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) injected via bronchial and nonbronchial systemic arterial approaches. Infectious diseases included inactive tuberculosis (n = 3), nontuberculous mycobacteriosis (n = 1), and chronic infection of unknown origin (n = 1). Seven PAPs were detected on selective systemic angiography, and injection of NBCA was performed. Disappearance of all PAPs was confirmed on systemic arteriography after the intervention. In all patients, hemoptysis was stopped without major complications, and it did not recur during the follow-up period (mean, 351 d; range, 285-427 d).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we analyzed features of 256-slice spiral CT bronchial artery imaging in common pathological types of central-type lung cancer to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS 74 patients diagnosed as central-type lung cancer were selected. They included 34 cases of squamous carcinoma and 40 cases of non-squamous carcinoma. 256-slice spiral CT bronchial artery imaging examination was performed for patients in the two groups. The 3D reconstruction technique was used in a stand-alone workstation, using different rotation axis to observe space anatomical details of the bronchial artery and to compare development ratio of the bronchial artery, artery diameter, diameter of tumor and developing condition of the pulmonary artery. RESULTS It was found that left side, right side and both sides developing ratios of a bronchial artery in the squamous carcinoma group were higher than the other group. Moreover, the average diameter of the artery and diameter of the tumor was significantly higher than non-squamous carcinoma group. The occurrence rates of compression and narrowing on the pulmonary arterial branch at tumor side were significantly increased (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There were different 256-slice spiral CT bronchial artery imaging results for different pathological types of central-type lung cancer, which has a certain reference value for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Symptomatic bronchial artery aneurysm warrants urgent intervention. It has a known association with pulmonary infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. We hereby report an elderly lady with a ruptured left superior bronchial artery mycotic aneurysm. She was in the early stages of treatment for a left lung abscess. She had multiple episodes of haemoptysis following which she underwent a left lower lobectomy. Presentation of lung abscess with a concurrent ruptured mycotic aneurysm warrants early surgical intervention and can be curative as seen in this case.

Abstract
This paper describes endobronchial embolization using silicone spigots (EESS), which is a potential treatment option for hemoptysis. A 63-year-old man with massive hemoptysis was treated with EESS to the left B(3), and bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was subsequently performed. However, the patient's hemosputum persisted and we performed another bronchoscopy. Bleeding was found from the left B(1+2). This was also treated with EESS. Subsequently, the patient achieved complete hemostasis with no complications for four months. EESS can prevent suffocation and can be a definitive treatment for achieving hemostasis in patients with recurrent hemoptysis after BAE.

Abstract
Less than 5% of all cases of haemoptysis are considered to be massive, representing a life-threatening condition that warrants urgent investigations and treatment. Efforts should be concentrated on determining the origin of the haemoptysis and the presence of an underlying respiratory pathology, in order to ensure supportive measures and a rapid control of the bleeding. Bronchial artery embolization is considered to be the treatment of choice and thoracic surgery should only be considered in cases of localized lesions with a high risk of re-bleeding, pulmonary artery hemorrhage and failure or contraindications to embolization.

Abstract
Children with acute pulmonary bleeding (8 cases) due to different pathology of trancheobronchial tree were followed-up at the period from 2008 to 2014. Diagnostic angiography and X-ray endovascular occlusion of bronchial arteries were performed in the case of insufficiency of conservative and endoscopic methods of hemostasis. Microembolic spheres were used for embolization of distal vessels. The embolization coils and micro-coils were applied for occlusion of great vessels. Children (5 cases) were discharged from the hospital after embolization at the terms of 6-12 months. They hadn't any ischemic complications associated with bronchial artery occlusion. The sequelae of main disease caused deaths of 3 other kids. The X-ray occlusion is a low-invasive and highly effective method of arrest of all types of bleeding from pool of bronchial arteries. The method could be applied even in extremely severe condition of the patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To retrospectively evaluate the depiction of bronchial and nonbronchial systemic arteries with dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) versus conventional angiography in patients with hemoptysis. METHODS DSCT and conventional angiography of thorax were performed in 66 patients with hemoptysis. There were 46 males and 20 females with a mean age of 45 (22-72) years. Findings on DSCT, including CT scans, maximal intensity projections and three-dimensional volume-rendered images were used to evaluate the visibility and traceability of bronchial and/or nonbronchial systemic arteries. CT scans were evaluated by two radiologists in consensus. The CT findings were compared with those of conventional angiography. RESULTS A total of 171 (87 right, 84 left) bronchial arteries and 18 nonbronchial systemic arteries were visible on DSCT. The right bronchial arteries arose from intercostal-bronchial trunk thoracic aorta (n = 46), common trunk of both bronchial arteries (CBT) (n = 32) and thoracic aorta (n = 9) whereas left bronchial arteries arose from thoracic aorta (n = 50), CBT (n = 32) and left subclavian artery (n = 2). Compared with angiography, the accuracy of DSCT in the diagnosis of hemoptysis responsible vessels (i.e. dilatation BA) was approximately 88.7% (133/150). DSCT correctly diagnosed 18 nonbronchial systemic arteries, but missed 7; DSCT correctly diagnosed 5 bronchial-pulmonary vascular fistulas, but missed 15. CONCLUSION Excellent for evaluating hemoptysis, DSCT may identify the origin and ostial position of bronchial arteries, detect non-bronchial systemic arteries and act as a roadmap for percutaneous transcatheter embolisation.

Abstract
We herein report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with lung metastasis that was successfully treated with transcatheter arterial infusion chemotherapy via the hepatic and bronchial arteries. A 64-year-old man diagnosed with HCC in 2003 was treated with locoregional therapy followed by sorafenib for recurrent HCC. Tumor thrombosis and lung metastasis were noted in April 2012. We administered IA-call(®), a fine-powder formulation of cisplatin, via the hepatic and bronchial arteries. This therapy resulted in the disappearance of the lung metastases and a partial response to tumor thrombosis. The patient remained alive for 23 months after developing lung metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoptysis is a sign that can be secondary to various clinical entities. Depending on the amount of bleeding, it may even endanger the patient's life. The presence of a dilated and tortuous bronchial artery may explain the hemoptysis, whose treatment consists in closing the vessel. Our objective is to demonstrate the percutaneous closure of a disrupt of the bronchial artery which causes hemoptysis. CLINICAL CASE A 49-years old woman with mild hemoptysis and the presence of an abnormal bronchial artery bleeding that underwent percutaneous closure device plug. The device was implanted without complications and it was not observed passage of dye into the bronchial artery occluded through the pigtail catheter angiography control. The patient had no further episodes of hemoptysis. CONCLUSIONS pulmonary arteriovenous malformations can be treated successfully by the percutaneous route.

Abstract
Fistulas between coronary artery and bronchial artery may be present from birth, with few hemodynamic consequences, and may remain closed due to similarity of the filling pressures at these 2 sites. They can also be secondary to pulmonary artery occlusive disease or chronic pulmonary inflammation. These pulmonary changes may cause a dilation of the fistula and make it functional, causing angina pectoris by coronary steal syndrome, which is the most common symptom. The presentation may also be composed of episodes of hemoptysis, heart failure, and infective endocarditis. However, most patients remain asymptomatic. The ones that need treatment may not have a good response to the medical management, requiring an intervention. This can be done using embolization coils, stents grafts, and performing surgical ligation of the fistulas.

Abstract
A 74-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of sudden onset of chest pain and dyspnea. The chest X-ray film revealed left hemothorax. Chest computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed left hemothorax and excluded the possibility of aortic dissection and aneurysm of the aorta. But the presence of some vascular mass, about 20 mm in diameter, was suspected at subcarina. Three-dimensional (3D) -CT confirmed a definitive diagnosis of ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm. Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) was performed. We report a case of ruptured bronchial artery aneurysm complicated by life-threatening massive bleeding and resembling a clinical picture of aortic dissection.

Abstract
Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis (UPAA) is a rare congenital anomaly usually diagnosed in infancy due to associated cardiovascular malformations. We report a rare case of isolated right UPAA that presented atypically in adulthood with massive haemoptysis requiring a pneumonectomy. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion, the role of CT angiography and a multi disciplinary approach. Optimal management is often surgical however bronchial artery embolization (BAE) remains a useful adjunct.
