Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is considered the first choice treatment for hemoptysis. To our knowledge no cases of BAE using a recent ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer agent (Squid) have been previously mentioned. Two cases of BAE for remitting hemoptysis using Squid and polyvinyl alcohol particles are reported in this technical note. The final angiographic control confirmed full exclusion of the target territory in both cases. Both patients felt some chest pain immediately after the embolization, not requiring any medications. No more episodes of hemoptysis occurred in the following 3 months after the procedure.
支气管动脉栓塞术(BAE)被认为是咯血的首选治疗方法。据我们所知,以前没有提到过使用最近的乙烯-乙烯醇共聚物(Squid)进行 BAE 的病例。本技术说明报告了两例使用 Squid 和聚乙烯醇颗粒进行 BAE 以缓解咯血的病例。最终的血管造影控制证实了在这两种情况下均完全排除了靶区。两名患者在栓塞后立即感到有些胸痛,但无需任何药物治疗。在手术后的 3 个月内没有再次发生咯血。
