Bronchial Artery Aneurysm: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, and Long-Term Prognosis Following Bronchial Artery Embolization - This study is the first original research article on BAA, previously only reported in case reports, investigating the prevalence, characteristics, and long-term prognosis of BAA in BAE cases, showing a prevalence of ...
A lung illustration depicting a pulmonary embolism as a thrombus (blood clot) that has travelled from another region of the body, causes occlusion of the pulmonary bronchial artery, leading to arterial thrombosis of the superior and inferior lobes in the left lung: Specialty: Hematology, cardiology, pulmonology, Emergency medicine: Symptoms
Considering that the total volume of the tracheal and bronchial lumen is about 150 cc, [28] [29] it may be reasonable to define massive hemoptysis as 200 ml, which is a little more than 150 ml, in terms of setting the threshold for fatal hemoptysis. More than 400ml/day is not adequate for screening purposes.
Bronchial artery is considered dilated when its diameter is more than 2 mm. Several causes of bronchial artery dilatations are: congenital heart or lung diseases, obstructions of pulmonary artery, and lung inflammation. [1] The bronchial arteries are typically enlarged and tortuous in chronic pulmonary thromboembolic hypertension. [3]
In bronchial artery embolization for treatment of massive lung bleeding, one of the most serious complications is to lose blood flow to the spinal cord caused by accidental closure of the artery of Adamkiewicz. [16] Its location can be identified with computed tomographic angiography. [17]
Typically, dementia is associated with classic symptoms like confusion and memory loss. But new research finds that there could be a less obvious risk factor out there: your cholesterol levels ...
Embolization refers to the passage and lodging of an embolus within the bloodstream. It may be of natural origin (pathological), in which sense it is also called embolism, for example a pulmonary embolism; or it may be artificially induced (therapeutic), as a hemostatic treatment for bleeding or as a treatment for some types of cancer by deliberately blocking blood vessels to starve the tumor ...
