Abstract
ObjectiveTO investigate the clinical value of nonbronchial systemic arteries on interventional therapy in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
MethodsA total of 24 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and hemoptysis who underwent bronchial artery embolization had been followed up for two years. According to whether the patients have recurrence of hemoptysis, 24 cases were divided into recurrence group and non-recurrence group. Clinical data were statistically analyzed and compared between two groups.
Results24 patients were followed up form 6 months to 2 years,11 patients had recurrence of hemoptysis. In recurrence group aortic angiography was performed in 6 patients (54.5%), significantly lower than those in no-recurrence group (92.3%),(P<0.05);10 patients were found had NBSA as feeding vessels in recurrence group (90.9%) ,significantly higher than those in no-recurrence group (61.5%) . Recurrence group patients also had higher NBSA numbers (2.87±2.70) than no-recurrence group (1.05 ± 1.12) (P<0.05); In recurrence group 5 patients had complete embolisation (45.4%), significantly lower than no- recurrence group (92.3%) (P<0.05).
ConclusionsDiscovery of responsible NBSA and complete embolisation plays important role in interventional therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis with hemoptysis, it can improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the recurrence of hemoptysis.
