Recurrence after bronchial embolization should immediately undergo CT examination to clarify the site of recurrence, and then further treatment can be taken, generally can take re-embolization or lesion bronchectomy.
Bronchial embolization is a common treatment for bronchiectasis. If the lesion site is clearly identified before surgery and the judgment is accurate during surgery, recurrence is generally not easy. It is more likely to recur if the lesion is not cleanly removed during surgery or if the factors that created the lesion are not removed.
There are many reasons for recurrence after bronchial embolization, such as bronchial dilatation combined with tuberculosis cavity, pulmonary artery branches involved in the blood supply, the formation of bronchial arteriovenous fistula or traffic branch, etc. may cause recurrence. After bronchial embolization, the symptoms of bronchiectasis usually improve, but if hemoptysis occurs again after the operation, it may indicate recurrence of the disease.
Recurrence after bronchial embolization should actively search for the cause of recurrence, such as the existence of other arterial branches should be embolized again, the emergence of new lesions should be performed lesion excision, the existence of tuberculosis cavity should be treated for the primary disease, such as the use of anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as isoniazid, rifampicin, and so on.
Recurrence after bronchial embolization should be handled according to the specific reason of the patient, and patients should undergo regular review after the procedure, and inform the doctor if they find any signs of recurrence to avoid exacerbation of the disease.
