Endobronchial resection using a bronchoscope is often selected as treatment for carcinoid tumors located in the central airways. However, massive bleeding is one of the most serious complications during bronchoscopic surgery. Here, we report the case of a 77-year-old female with a typical carcinoid tumor located in the right truncus intermedius who underwent bronchial artery embolization (BAE) one day before endobronchial intervention using a flexible bronchoscope. The tumor was successfully resected without bleeding. BAE prior to endobronchial resection of carcinoid tumors may be useful for reducing the risk of bleeding.
经支气管镜切除常被选为治疗位于中央气道的类癌肿瘤的方法。然而,在支气管镜手术过程中,大出血是最严重的并发症之一。在这里,我们报告了一例位于右中间干的典型类癌肿瘤的 77 岁女性患者,该患者在使用软式支气管镜进行支气管介入治疗前一天接受了支气管动脉栓塞术(BAE)。肿瘤成功切除,无出血。在支气管镜切除类癌肿瘤之前进行 BAE 可能有助于降低出血风险。
