Bronchial artery embolization for the treatment of hemoptysis: permanent versus temporary embolic materials, a single center study

BAE is a safe procedure for control of hemoptysis of varying etiologies and possesses high rates of immediate clinical success with few complications. In terms of embolic materials, a superiority in term of late clinical success and lower hemorrhage recurrency rate with permanent materials were clearly observed in our population, with a similar safety profile. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings and strengthen evidence.
