Proximal pulmonary artery (PA) embolization is a dramatic interventional radiology procedure performed to control recurrent, life-threatening hemoptysis. Distal PA embolization procedures are commonly performed, and preoperative proximal PA embolization procedures have been reported, but to the best of our knowledge there has not been a reported case of a proximal PA embolization to treat hemoptysis. Here, we present a case of a complete proximal PA embolization that effectively resolved recurrent hemoptysis in a patient with a lung tumor following a failed bronchial artery embolization.
近端肺动脉(PA)栓塞术是一种用于控制反复出现的、危及生命的咯血的重要介入放射学操作。远端肺动脉栓塞术较为常见,术前近端肺动脉栓塞术也有相关报道,但据我们所知,尚未有近端肺动脉栓塞术治疗咯血的病例报道。在此,我们报告一例完全性近端肺动脉栓塞术,该手术有效解决了一名肺癌患者在支气管动脉栓塞术失败后反复出现的咯血问题。
