• The therapeutic outcomes are improving due to the combined approach such as spreading the treatment target to non-bronchial arteries, development of 3D-CT angiography following the development of MDCT, the advancement of devices such as coils and micro-catheters, and the evolution of therapeutic strategies.

  • In addition, thoracic computed tomography angiography revealed numerous periesophageal arterial vessels, tortuous and dilated bronchial arteries, and an enlarged tortuous left phrenic artery, consistent with systemic bronchial and non-bronchial collateral arterial circulation development.

  • The occlusion of the blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidneys, which are supplied by the so-called end arteries, can cause cerebral, myocardial, and renal infarctions. (wikipedia.org)
  • Bronchial artery embolization is a treatment for hemoptysis, abbreviated as BAE. (wikipedia.org)
  • Therefore, it is common to embolize such non-bronchial arteries, but the expression of bronchial artery embolization, BAE, rather than the universal expression "arterial embolization" is more common. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the case of non-bronchial arteries, it is empirically known that some collateral circulations also develop. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is a kind of catheter intervention to control hemoptysis (airway bleeding) by embolizing the bronchial artery, which is a bleeding source. (wikipedia.org)
  • The tip of the catheter is inserted into the orifice of the bronchial artery (normally smaller than 1 mm) or other non-bronchial hemoptysis-related arteries. (wikipedia.org)

  • Contain the bleeding source: Not uncommonly this involves some form of tamponade of the bronchial orifice exuding blood, using fiberoptic or rigid bronchoscopy, or other airway techniques. (cancertherapyadvisor.com)
  • The occlusion of the blood vessels in the brain, heart, and kidneys, which are supplied by the so-called end arteries, can cause cerebral, myocardial, and renal infarctions. (wikipedia.org)

  • The bronchial artery is the major source of bleeding in nearly 90% of cases 9 . (e-trd.org)
  • We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the patients who underwent bronchial arteriography and BAE in two university hospitals from January 2003 to December 2011. (e-trd.org)
  • These findings suggest that the incidence of CIN was higher than expected and patients with hypoalbuminemia should be monitored more carefully to prevent the development of CIN after bronchial arteriography and BAE. (e-trd.org)
