title: [Case of repeated hemoptysis successfully treated with bronchial artery embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate].
abstract: We report a case of repeated hemoptysis successfully treated with bronchial artery embolization (BAE) with N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). A 75-year-old woman with non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis and pulmonary aspergillosis was admitted with recurrent hemoptysis despite repeated BAE. Considering the ineffectiveness of BAE with Spongel or polyvinyl alcohol, BAE with NBCA was selected. Immediate cessation of hemoptysis was obtained and it has not been seen for 2 years. Although NBCA is the most widely used liquid embolic material to treat brain aneurysm, arteriovenous malformations or gastric varices, there are only a few cases are reported in the treatment of hemoptysis. It seems to be a possible useful treatment for patients with repeated hemoptysis.
