The efficacy, safety, and related factors of bronchial artery embolization for hemoptysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis with subgroup analysis.

Background: Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is a common and important way to manage hemoptysis. This study's purpose was to summarize the efficacy, safety, and related factors of BAE in the treatment of hemoptysis.

Methods: From January 2010 to August 2023, a systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases.

Tumor Growth Pattern and Intra- and Peritumoral Radiomics Combined for Prediction of Initial TACE Outcome in Patients with Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: Non-invasive methods are urgently needed to assess the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and to identify patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who may benefit from this procedure. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the predictive ability of tumor growth patterns and radiomics features from contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) in predicting tumor response to TACE among patients with HCC.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 133 patients with HCC who underwent TACE at three centers between January 2015 and April 2023.
