A case of primary racemose hemangioma with endobronchial lesions demonstrating recurrent hemoptysis initially treated with bronchial arterial embolization.

ABSTRACT: Primary racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery (RHBA) is one of the causes of massive hemoptysis. A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with recurrent hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy showed an endobronchial lesion, and the angiography of the right bronchial arteries indicated RHBA. Bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) was performed to prevent hemoptysis. Although the endobronchial lesion shrank after the first BAE, the lesion re-increased and caused massive hemoptysis. A thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy was performed, and hemoptysis did not recur. Therefore, in cases of RHBA where there is recurrent hemoptysis and the endobronchial lesions that remain after BAE, additional treatments should be considered.

Project description:BackgroundBronchial artery embolization (BAE) is a common and important way to manage hemoptysis. This study's purpose was to summarize the efficacy, safety, and related factors of BAE in the treatment of hemoptysis.MethodsFrom January 2010 to August 2023, a systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Original studies with BAE for hemoptysis were included, with no restrictions on language. The outcomes of interest were technical success rate, clinical success rate, recurrence rate, mortality rate, and major complication rate. Pooled proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using random-effects models. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was employed for quality assessment. Factors such as publication year, region, sample size, amount of hemoptysis, etiology, and embolization materials were extracted for subgroup analyses. Additionally, sensitivity analyses and test for publication bias were conducted.ResultsA total of 32 studies, including 6,032 patients, met our inclusion criteria. 27 studies were of high quality, while five of moderate quality. The results indicated the prevalence of technical success was 97.2% (95% CI: 95.1-98.8%) and 93.2% (95% CI: 90.3-95.7%) in clinical success. Hemoptysis recurrence and mortality rates after BAE were 24.8% (95% CI: 20.5-29.4%) and 2.3% (95% CI: 1.1-3.8%), respectively. Moreover, the pooled prevalence of major complication was 0.1% (95% CI: 0.0-0.4%). Subgroup analysis revealed that studies published after 2017 demonstrated a higher technical success rate and a lower recurrence rate. Massive hemoptysis showed a higher technical success rate but a lower clinical success rate. BAE also demonstrated superior efficacy in patients with bronchiectasis. The clinical success rate was significantly higher in patients with benign diseases than those with malignancies. Gelatin sponge (GS) showed poor embolization efficacy. N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and coils exhibited reduced recurrence rates, while NBCA displayed an even lower recurrence rate than non-absorbable particles. The study by Ishikawa et al. influenced the stability of the pooled major complication rate, and the sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the remaining results.ConclusionsBAE is safe and effective in treating different degrees of hemoptysis caused by benign and malignant lesions. Promising clinical efficacy was observed with NBCA as an embolic material for the treatment of hemoptysis. However, further conclusions should be investigated using evidence-based medicine.
