Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoptysis is a severe complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) for which bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is an efficient primary therapeutic option. However, recurrence is more frequent than for other etiologies of hemoptysis. PURPOSE To assess the safety and efficacy of BAE in patients with CF and hemoptysis and predictive factors for recurrent hemoptysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study reviewed all adult patients with CF treated by BAE for hemoptysis in our center from 2004 to 2021. The primary endpoint was the recurrence of hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization. Secondary endpoints were overall survival and complications. We introduced the vascular burden (VB) defined as the sum of all bronchial artery diameters measured on pre-procedural enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans. RESULTS A total of 48 BAE were performed in 31 patients. A total of 19 recurrences occurred with a median recurrence-free survival of 3.9 years. In univariate analyzes, percentage of unembolized VB (%UVB) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.034, 95% confidence interval [CI=1.016-1.052; P < 0.001) and %UVB vascularizing the suspected bleeding lung (%UVB-lat) (HR = 1.024, 95% CI=1.012-1.037; P < 0.001) were associated with recurrence. In multivariate analyzes, only %UVB-lat remained significantly associated with recurrence (HR = 1.020, 95% CI=1.002-1.038; P = 0.030). One patient died during follow-up. No complication of grade 3 or higher was reported according to the CIRSE classification system for complications. CONCLUSION When possible, unilateral BAE seems sufficient in patients with CF with hemoptysis even in such a diffuse disease involving both lungs. The efficiency of BAE could be improved by thoroughly targeting all arteries vascularizing the bleeding lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly half of bronchiectasis patients receiving bronchial artery embolization (BAE) still have recurrent hemoptysis, which may be life-threatening. Worse still, the underlying risk factors of recurrence remain unknown. METHODS A retrospective cohort was conducted of patients with idiopathic bronchiectasis who received BAE from 2015 to 2019 at eight centers. Patients were followed up for at least 24 months post BAE. Based on the outcomes of recurrent hemoptysis and recurrent severe hemoptysis, a Cox regression model was used to identify risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS A total of 588 individuals were included. The median follow-up period was 34.0 months (interquartile range: 24.3-53.3 months). The 1-month, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year cumulative recurrent hemoptysis-free rates were 87.2%, 67.5%, 57.6%, and 49.4%, respectively. The following factors were relative to recurrent hemoptysis: 24-h sputum volume (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.99 [95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.25-3.15, p = 0.015]), isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HR = 1.50 [95% CI: 1.13-2.00, p = 0.003]), extensive bronchiectasis (HR = 2.00 [95% CI: 1.29-3.09, p = 0.002]), and aberrant bronchial arteries (AbBAs) (HR = 1.45 [95% CI: 1.09-1.93, p = 0.014]). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.728 [95% CI: 0.688-0.769]. CONCLUSIONS Isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important independent predictor of recurrent hemoptysis. The clearance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa might effectively reduce the hemoptysis recurrence rate.

Prevalence of non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries in patients with hemoptysis with bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection who underwent de novo bronchial artery embolization. Eur Radiol 2022; 33:4198-4204. [PMID: 36472693 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09310-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 10/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the prevalence of non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries and their relationship to bleeding lobes in patients with hemoptysis with bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection who underwent de novo bronchial artery embolization (BAE). METHODS Data of 83 consecutive patients with bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection (non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis, aspergillosis, and tuberculosis) who underwent de novo BAE between January 2019 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The prevalence of culprit arteries was investigated. RESULTS Fifty-five patients (66%) had 172 non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries. The bleeding lobes were the right upper, right middle, right lower, left upper, and left lower lobes in 14 (17%), 20 (24%), 7 (8%), 31 (37%), and 11 (13%) patients, respectively. The internal thoracic (49%; n = 41), intercostal (28%; n = 23), and inferior phrenic (28%; n = 23) arteries were the top three non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries, which were involved in all five types of bleeding lobes. The costocervical trunk and thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic arteries were predominant in patients with upper lobe bleeding. Ligament arteries were predominant in patients with left lower lobe bleeding. CONCLUSIONS These findings will better ensure the identification of non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries in patients with hemoptysis with bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection. All systemic arteries, especially those which are adjacent to the lung lesions, should be evaluated carefully using MDCT; the internal thoracic, intercostal, and inferior phrenic arteries should be proactively assessed using angiography. KEY POINTS • Non-bronchial systemic culprit arteries were identified in 66% of patients with hemoptysis with bronchiectasis and chronic pulmonary infection who underwent de novo bronchial artery embolization. • The internal thoracic (49%), intercostal (28%), and inferior phrenic (28%) arteries were the top three arteries, which were involved in all five types of bleeding lobes. • The costocervical trunk and thoracoacromial and lateral thoracic arteries were prominent in patients with upper lobe bleeding, and the ligament artery was prominent in patients with left lower lobe bleeding.

[PMID: 36397043 PMCID: PMC9670530 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-02233-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Massive hemoptysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and advanced pulmonary disease. Hypertrophied bronchial arteries are understood to cause massive hemoptysis when rupturing. Risk factors to predict massive hemoptysis are scarce and bronchial artery diameters are not part of any scoring system in follow-up of patients with CF. Aim of this study was to correlate bronchial artery diameter with massive hemoptysis in CF. Methods Bronchial artery and non-bronchial systemic artery diameters were measured in contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans in patients with massive hemoptysis and compared to patients with end-stage CF and no history of hemoptysis. Demographic and clinical data and side of bronchial artery/non-bronchial systemic artery hypertrophy and coil embolization were documented. Results In this retrospective multicenter study 33 patients with massive hemoptysis were included for bronchial artery/non-bronchial systemic artery diameter measurements, (13 female, 20 male, median age 30 years (18–55)). Bronchial artery diameters were significantly larger in the case group than in the control group with median 4 mm (2.2–8.2 mm), and median 3 mm (1–7 mm), respectively (p = 0.002). Sensitivity of bronchial arteries ≥ 3.5 mm to be associated with hemoptysis was 0.76 and specificity 0.71 with ROC creating an area under the curve of 0.719. If non-bronchial systemic arteries were present, they were considered culprit and embolized in 92% of cases. Conclusion Bronchial arteries ≥ 3.5 mm and presence of hypertrophied non-bronchial systemic arteries correlate with massive hemoptysis in patients with CF and might serve as risk predictor for massive hemoptysis. Therefore, in patients with advanced CF we propose CT scans to be carried out as CT angiography to search for bronchial arteries ≥ 3.5 mm and for hypertrophied non-bronchial systemic arteries as possible risk factors for massive hemoptysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to present the procedural details and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) findings of perioperative chest-wall collateral embolization (PCCE) and compare intraoperative blood loss in patients of pulmonary aspergilloma (PA) undergoing lung resection with and without PCCE. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since November 2017, we have performed PCCE in 17 patients (14 males, three females, age 34.41 ± 12.85 years) before surgery for PA (embolization group). Retrospective evaluation of these patients was done, DSA findings were noted, and perioperative parameters (surgical approach, extent of resection, operative time, blood loss, blood transfusion, morbidity grade, and length of post-operative stay) were compared with a comparative cohort of 24 patients of PA (21 males, three females, mean age 36.13 ± 12.58 years) who underwent thoracic surgery without PCCE (May 2013-November 2017) (control group) using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS A total of 55 arteries were embolized in 17 patients (mean 3.23 arteries per patient). Technical success could be achieved in all patients without any procedure-related complications. The most common arteries embolized were posterior intercostal arteries (29) followed by costocervical trunk (10), superior thoracic (8), lateral thoracic (5), and internal thoracic arteries (3). The mean blood loss was significantly lower in the embolization group compared with the control group (676.47 vs. 1,264.58 mL, p = 0.015). Within the embolization group, patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery had even lower blood loss compared with open surgery cases (466 vs. 887.50 mL, p-value = 0.046). CONCLUSION PCCE is a simple and safe procedure, useful in reducing intra-operative blood loss in patients undergoing surgery for peripherally located PA.

Abstract
Background Ectopic bronchial artery and non-bronchial systemic arteries may be the culprit vessels of hemoptysis. The main cause of clinical failure of bronchial artery embolization is incomplete embolization caused by the misidentification of the culprit arteries by conventional angiography. Multidetector computed tomography angiography is useful for visualizing the culprit arteries. Case presentation An 82-year-old man was admitted with hemoptysis. Preprocedural multidetector computed tomography angiography revealed an ectopic bronchial artery branching from the right thyrocervical trunk. Superselective embolization of the ectopic bronchial artery was performed using gelatin sponge particles and metallic coils. Hemoptysis was controlled by this procedure without any associated complications. Conclusions Ectopic bronchial arteries originating from the thyrocervical trunk are rare. Preprocedural multidetector computed tomography angiography is useful for visualizing the culprit arteries of hemoptysis, especially if a patient has an ectopic bronchial artery or an ectopic non-bronchial systemic artery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes on the success of bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) in patients with and without systemic artery-to-pulmonary vessel fistula (SA-PF) and to evaluate the feasibility of CTA in the assessment of SA-PF. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 420 consecutive patients that underwent BAE for hemoptysis control in our hospital from September 2011 to May 2019. The clinical characteristics, preprocedural CTA findings, BAE procedural findings, and follow-up outcomes were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to DSA findings: patients with SA-PF and those without. RESULTS A total of 184 (43.7%) patients presented with SA-PF. Pneumonia was less likely to be the concomitant condition in patients with SA-PF (p < 0.001). The mean number of culprit arteries per patient was significantly higher in patients with SA-PF compared to that in patients without SA-PF (p = 0.017). The SA-PF patients saw a greater probability of recurrence (HR: 2.782, 95% CI: 1.617-4.784, p < 0.001). SA-pulmonary venous fistula (SA-PVF) favored lower hemoptysis recurrence rate (HR: 0.199, 95%CI: 0.052-0.765, p = 0.019). SA-pulmonary artery fistula (SA-PAF) can be detected by optimized CTA protocol with a detection rate of 65.3% (49/75). CONCLUSIONS The presence of SA-PF is an independent risk factor predicting early recurrence of hemoptysis after BAE. SA-PVF seems to be a protective factor for longer hemoptysis control compared to SA-PAF. Optimized preprocedural CTA is a reliable examination to identify SA-PAF. KEY POINTS • The appearance of SA-PF is associated with a greater probability of early recurrent hemoptysis after bronchial artery embolization. • The presence of SA-PVF seems to be a protective factor for longer hemoptysis control after BAE compared to SA-PAF. • Optimized CTA protocol seems to be a promising auxiliary examination to detect SA-PAF.

Abstract
Background Relapse after effective bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) for controlling hemoptysis is not uncommon. Studies reported diverse predictors of recurrence. However, a model to assess the probability of recurrence in non-cancer related hemoptysis patients after BAE has not been reported. This study was to develop a model to predict recurrence after BAE for non-cancer related hemoptysis. Methods The study cohort included 487 patients who underwent BAE for non-cancer-related hemoptysis between January 2015 and December 2019. We derived the model’s variables from univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The model presented as a nomogram scaled by the proportional regression coefficient of each predictor. Model performance was assessed with respect to discrimination and calibration. Results One-month and 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-year recurrence-free rates were 94.5%, 88.0%, 81.4%, 76.2% and 73.8%, respectively. Risk factors for recurrence were underlying lung diseases and the presence of systemic arterial-pulmonary circulation shunts. This risk prediction model with two risk factors provided good discrimination (area under curve, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.62–0.76), and lower prediction error (integrated Brier score, 0.143). Conclusion The proposed model based on routinely available clinical and imaging features demonstrates good performance for predicting recurrence of non-cancer-related hemoptysis after BAE. The model may assist clinicians in identifying higher-risk patients to improve the long-term efficacy of BAE.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening emergency that requires rapid evaluation and management. Recognition of this deadly condition, knowledge of the initial resuscitation and diagnostic evaluation, and communication with consultants capable of definitive management are key to successful treatment. OBJECTIVE The objective of this narrative review is to provide an evidence-based review on the management of massive hemoptysis for the emergency clinician. DISCUSSION Rapid diagnosis and management of life-threatening hemoptysis is key to patient survival. The majority of cases arise from the bronchial arterial system, which is under systemic blood pressure. Initial management includes patient and airway stabilization, reversal of coagulopathy, and identification of the source of bleeding using computed tomography angiogram. Bronchial artery embolization with interventional radiology has become the mainstay of treatment; however, unstable patients may require advanced bronchoscopic procedures to treat or temporize while additional information and treatment can be directed at the underlying pathology. CONCLUSION Massive hemoptysis is a life-threatening condition that emergency clinicians must be prepared to manage. Emergency clinicians should focus their management on immediate resuscitation, airway preservation often including intubation and isolation of the non-bleeding lung, and coordination of definitive management with available consultants including interventional radiology, interventional pulmonology, and thoracic surgery.

Abstract
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is frequently applied in interventional radiology (IR). When DSA is not useful due to misregistration, digital angiography (DA) as an alternative option is used. In DA, the harmonization function (HF) works in real time by harmonizing the distribution of gray steps or reducing the dynamic range; thus, it can compress image gradations, decrease image contrast, and suppress halation artifacts. DA with HF as a good alternative to DSA is clinically advantageous in body IR for generating DSA-like images and simultaneously reducing various motion artifacts and misregistrations caused by patient body motion, poor breath-holding, bowel and ureter peristalsis, and cardiac pulsation as well as halation artifacts often stemming from the lung field. Free-breath DA with HF can improve body IR workflow and decrease the procedure time by reducing the risk of catheter dislocation and using background structures as anatomical landmarks, demonstrating reduced radiation exposure relative to DSA. Thus, HF should be more widely and effectively utilized for appropriate purposes in body IR. This article illustrates the basic facts and principles of HF in DA, and demonstrates clinical advantages and limitations of this function in body IR.

Assessment of lateral costal artery with CT angiography: determination of prevalence and vessel length in the general population and its potential impact for coronary artery bypass grafting. Eur Radiol 2020; 31:1941-1946. [PMID: 32965574 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-07292-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Revised: 07/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Standard treatment for severe coronary artery disease (CAD) is coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). An underreported branch of the internal mammary artery, the lateral costal artery (LCA), can cause a steal phenomenon after CABG, resulting in angina. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and length of LCA based on CT angiography (CTA). METHODS This retrospective study included adult patients undergoing a thoracic CTA between January 2016 and August 2018. Exclusion criteria were prior CABG, insufficient clinical information, or inadequate image quality. Two blinded, independent readers reviewed all studies for the prevalence of the LCA. Positive cases were reviewed by two readers (R1/R2) for side distribution and vessel length, measured in intercostal spaces (ICS). Study indication, aortic size, and coronary calcification were noted. RESULTS LCA was present in up to 42/389 (11%) of studies (60.3 ± 16.7 years, 30 males). The LCA was most commonly unilateral (n = 23, 55%). Median vessel length was 2 ICS (IQR 0; 3). Logistic regression was not significant in vessel distribution for sex (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.28-1.15; p = 0.11). Inter-observer agreement in detecting LCA was substantial (kappa 0.71, 95% CI 0.59-0.83) and excellent for side/length distribution (kappa 0.94, 95% CI 0.82-1.0; ICC 0.96, 95% CI 0.93-0.98). CONCLUSION The LCA is uncommon and most often unilateral and extends the third rib. Radiologists should be aware of this vessel and its potential role in angina after CABG, particularly when large. KEY POINTS • LCA is an uncommon normal variant that is reported to cause angina pectoris after CABG. • CT angiography can reliably detect the LCA. It is most often unilateral and spans two intercostal spaces.

Abstract
Background We found no data in the literature on the embolization of the bronchial arteries in the context of hemoptysis associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. We therefore decided to share this experience. Case presentation A 62-year-old patient with no significant medical history was admitted with acute respiratory distress. Chest computed tomography showed diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities with limited consolidations. Diagnostic tests confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. The severity of respiratory failure required the implantation of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The patient developed severe haemoptysis, which was successfully treated by bronchial artery embolisation. Conclusions In the case of coronavirus-19 pneumonia, our experience suggests that the treatment of severe haemoptysis by bronchial artery embolisation is feasible and effective. The survival benefit should be assessed in the future.

Abstract
Background Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is a useful examination to detect the source of the bleeding in patients with hemoptysis. The aim of the study was to prospectively evaluate the role and clinical efficacy of MDCT angiography before bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for the management of hemoptysis, and to investigate the predictors of early recurrence. Methods It is a double-center study which included 57 hemoptysis patients undergoing MDCT angiography prior to BAE from August 2019 to July 2020. A prospective analysis of culprit arteries detected by MDCT angiography allowed an evaluation of the role of this technique. A follow-up was done to assess the efficacy of BAE with preprocedural MDCT angiography and to explore the risk factors of early recurrent hemoptysis. Results The accuracy of MDCT angiography in the identification of culprit arteries was as high as 97.5%. The average number of total culprit arteries per patient was 2.75 ± 1.73. Among which, the average numbers of culprit ectopic bronchial arteries (BAs) and non-bronchial systemic arteries (NBSAs) per patient were 0.21 ± 0.41 and 1.04 ± 1.57, respectively. The immediate clinical success rate, total hemoptysis recurrence rate, and early hemoptysis recurrence rate of BAE following MDCT angiography were 94.7, 18.5, 16.7%, respectively. Aspergilloma (HR = 6.63, 95% CI: 1.31–33.60, p = 0.022) was associated with an increase in the risk of early recurrence. Conclusions MDCT angiography should be performed before BAE for the management of hemoptysis. Aspergilloma was an independent predictor for early recurrence.
