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 ...
Roberts' research has focused on the field of cardiovascular and interventional radiology. Her work includes inferior vena cava filters, [5] bronchial artery embolization, [6] and the role of interventional radiology in pediatric liver transplant programs. [7] Her work has been recognized by several awards. She is a fellow of the ACR and of SIR.
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.
First developed by Sadek Hilal in 1968, embolization is a minimally invasive surgical technique. [8] The purpose is to prevent blood flow to an area of the body, which can effectively shrink a tumor or block an aneurysm. The procedure is carried out as an endovascular procedure by an interventional radiologist in an interventional suite. It is ...
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]
