The aim: Improve the results of the treatment of patients with pulmonary bleeding. Materials and methods: We examined 57patients with lung bleeding different etiology, who were hospitalized in the department of Thoraco-Abdominal Surgery. All patients were divided into two groups – of the main group 27patients and the comparison group 30 patients, depend of ages, sex, nosological form, level of lung bleeding. Patients aged from 27 to 78 years, including 34 men (62,5%) and 23 women (37,5%.). The test diseases includes: bronchiectasis disease – in 21 (37,1 %), pulmonary fibrosis with malformation BA – in 14 (24,7 %), abscess of the lung – in 9 (15,9 %), polycystic lung disease – in 6 (12,7 %), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – in 5 (9,6 %). Results: As a result of complete physical examination of patients with LB, it has been established that hemorrhage was the result of obstructive bronchitis in 14 patients (42%), there was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 7 (21%) and bronchiectasis was diagnosed in 6 (18%) patients. In 2 (6%) patients pulmonary hemorrhage was caused by community-acquired pneumonia. Central lung cancer was detected in 4 (12%) patients. Conclusions: Bronchial artery angiography gives high efficiency in solving the problem of hemostasis in oncological and nonspecific lung diseases. Endovascular occlusion of bronchial arteries permits: to elaborate diagnosis because of the presence of specific angiographic signs of malignant tumor; to perform effective endovascular hemostasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
