Predictors of Recurrence Following Bronchial Artery Embolisation (BAE) for Haemoptysis: A Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis Analyses Using SWiM Guidelines.
Sethi D et al., 2026 · 65 studies included
Summary
SWiM synthesis of 65 cohort studies with 12,143 patients; heterogeneity precluded a pooled effect estimate.
Conclusion
Collateral/systemic-pulmonary vascular anatomy and chronic destructive disease were associated with recurrence. This observational synthesis supports follow-up and attention to underlying disease; it does not prove one embolic agent superior or replace emergency airway control and embolization.
