Immediate and Late Outcomes of Bronchial and Systemic Artery Embolization for Palliative Treatment of Patients With Nonsmall-Cell Lung Cancer Having Hemoptysis . s2 v+ P1 m' { s( p' M0 HBackground: Hemoptysis in patients with advanced lung cancer can be a life threatening. 1 x% A) r- _. D1 UObjectives: To evaluate immediate outcomes and late outcomes of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for palliative treatment in patients with advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) having hemoptysis. & E' I: B3 g- ~3 {Methods: The BAE was performed in 28 patients with NSCLC. Hemoptysis was defined as follows: massive bleeding greater than 300 mL within 24 hours (n = 8), moderate bleeding of 100 to 300 mL within 24 hours (n =12), and slight bleeding less than100 mL within 24 hours (n = 8). 7 N8 S.

Immediate clinical success within 24 hours after BAE was achieved in 22 of the 27 patients who underwent embolization. 3 T& p3 _+ N& B1 w+ c8 r.
