abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the effect of embolization of bronchial artery (BAE) in patients with pneumoconiosis massive hemoptysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  49 patients with pneumoconiosis massive hemoptysis in observation group were underwent BAE, and 66 patients with pneumoconiosis hemoptysis in control group were cured with internal medicine. The rate of hemoptysis recurrence and controlling were counted during a year follow up.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rate of hemoptysis recurrence in observation group was 18.8% (9/48), and in control group was 35.9% (23/64) during a year follow up, there was a significant difference (P < 0.05). The rate of massive hemoptysis recurrence in the both group were 4.2% (2/48) and 9.3% (6/64) respectively, there was not a significant difference (P > 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BAE is an effective technique in patients with pneumoconiosis massive hemoptysis.
