Treatment options include medical therapy, bronchoscopy, vascular interventions, and surgical procedures. Among these, bronchial artery embolization (BAE) has emerged as a pivotal interventional technique for managing hemoptysis due to its minimally invasive nature and robust hemostatic efficacy. BAE is now widely utilized in clinical settings, particularly in the urgent management of massive hemoptysis. However, the complexity of the procedure and the absence of standardized protocols and technical guidelines in China have limited its widespread adoption. To enhance the quality and consistency of BAE, particularly in the diagnosis and management of massive hemoptysis, the Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Vascular Diseases Group of the Chinese Thoracic Society, the Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Vascular Disease Working Group of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and the National Working Group for the Prevention and Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism and Pulmonary Vascular Diseases have collaboratively developed the \"Expert Consensus on Procedural Standards for Bronchial Artery Embolization in the Treatment of Hemoptysis.\" This consensus provides a comprehensive overview of bronchial artery anatomy, indications and contraindications for BAE, procedural guidelines, complication prevention and management, as well as postoperative care, with the objective of further standardizing the clinical application of BAE.<b>Recommendations</b>1.Given the complexity of bronchial artery anatomy, various projection angles should be utilized intraoperatively to fully visualize the morphology of the affected vessels.2.The primary culprit vessels in hemoptysis are typically the bronchial arteries, ectopic bronchial arteries, and non-bronchial systemic arteries. However, vigilance is still required for hemoptysis originating from pulmonary arteries and veins.3.It is recommended to establish a multidisciplinary team for hemoptysis management to collaboratively develop tailored treatment plans.4.In cases where the patient exhibits signs of asphyxiation, a prompt assessment of the need for tracheal intubation is crucial to maintain airway patency. If necessary, perioperative management should include endoscopic intervention.5. Preoperative bronchial artery CT angiography is recommended to thoroughly identify and assess the responsible vessels before BAE.6. Prior to embolization, comprehensive angiography of all implicated vessels should be performed. The use of coaxial microcatheter techniques and appropriate embolization materials is recommended for super-selective embolization to avoid non-target embolization.7. Long-term management and follow-up of patients post-BAE is advised, including health education and a focus on treating the underlying condition to reduce the risk of hemoptysis recurrence.</p>","PeriodicalId":61512,"journal":{"name":"中华结核和呼吸杂志","volume":"48 5","pages":"408-417"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144043171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There were 10 males and 13 females, with a mean age of 68 years (49-78 years). The patients were analyzed for underlying disease, CTA manifestations of the pulmonary artery of PAPA, single maximum hemoptysis and outcomes. <b>Results:</b> Pulmonary tuberculosis was identified as the primary etiology in 95.7% (22/23) of cases. PAPAs were located in the left inferior pulmonary artery (PA) trunk (9 cases), right inferior PA trunk (6 cases), left lower lobe basal segment PA trunk (2 cases), right lower lobe basal segment PA trunk (4 cases), left upper lobe PA trunk (1 case), and left lingular segment PA trunk (1 case). All PAPAs were solitary lesions with morphological variations: finger-like (9 cases, 39.1%, 9/23), sac-like (6 cases, 26.1%, 6/23), nodular (4 cases, 17.4%, 4/23), beak-like (2 cases, 8.7%, 2/23), and umbrella-like (2 cases, 8.7%, 2/23). Adjacent lung tissues exhibited patchy opacities, nodules, flocculent shadows, or consolidation, with 56.5% (13/23) of PAPAs originating from cavitary walls. The mean maximum single-episode hemoptysis volume was 570 ml (range: 150-2000 ml). Thirteen patients without endovascular treatment survived for a mean of 68.5 days, whereas 10 patients with endovascular intervention survived for 709.4 days on average. Thirteen patients died of asphyxia due to massive hemoptysis and 3 died of non-hemoptysis-related causes. <b>Conclusions:</b> Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common cause of central PAPAs, especially in patients with hilar-adjacent cavities. After rupture of central pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysms (PAPAs), patients experience significantly larger single-episode hemoptysis volumes, leading to high risk of asphyxia-related death. Early pulmonary artery endovascular treatment can improve prognosis and prolong survival time. Pseudoaneurysms are easily missed on axial CT images when: (1) the lesion and its parent artery are not in the same imaging plane, or (2) the lesion has a nodular or beak-like morphology.</p>","PeriodicalId":61512,"journal":{"name":"中华结核和呼吸杂志","volume":"48 5","pages":"440-447"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144000458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
