Abstract | Hemoptysis is a common clinical emergency, bronchial arterial embolization is considered to be an effective treatment. The presence of coronary artery-bronchial artery fistula (CBF) may lead to recurrence of hemoptysis after treatment. It is necessary to investigate the imaging characteristics of a CBF and its correlation with the severity of pulmonary disease. With the development of multi-detector computed tomography, our study used the 320-slice CT bronchial artery angiography technology to observe and visualize blood vessels. The image and clinical data of 2015 hemoptysis patients with 320-slice CT bronchial artery angiography were retrospectively reviewed from January 2015 to December 2019. The axial and three-dimensional CT images were analyzed. The incidence, anatomical characteristics of CBF and pulmonary disease severity score were evaluated. A total of 12 CBF vessels were detected in 11 patients. We found that the incidence of CBF in this group was 0.55% (11/2015). Mean CBF diameter was 1.9 mm (1.2-2.5 mm). The course of CBF usually was relatively fixed. The proportions of CBF originated from the left circumflex artery, right coronary artery, and left anterior descending artery were 75%, 16.7% and 8.3%, respectively. Preliminarily analysis of the correlation between the trend of CBF and the pulmonary diseases severity score showed that CBF was more likely to communicate with a bronchial artery on the side with a higher severity score. CBF may occur in patients with chronic pulmonary disease and hemoptysis, and its origin, course and trend are characteristic. Detailed and comprehensive computed tomography angiography image analysis is helpful to improve the clinical treatment of hemoptysis with CBF. |
