title: [Analysis of hemoptysis treated by bronchial arterial embolization].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the correlation of effect of bronchial arterial embolization (BAE) in the treatment of hemoptysis and relative factors.
  
  
  METHODS

The total effective rate was 93.4%.In follow-up period, there were 69 cases (65.7%) without recurrence, and 8 cases (7.6%) were recent recurrence and 10 cases (9.5%) were long-term recurrence, respectively. All factors were no obvious correlation to effect of BAE.
