Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in the emergency treatment of hemoptysis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 200 emergency patients with hemoptysis who underwent BAE treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2024. The therapeutic effects were compared by grouping according to the causes. Results The success rate of immediate hemostasis for patients was 96.00% (192/200), and the total effective rate was 98.00% (196/200). There was no significant difference in the success rate of hemostasis among all groups (P>0.05). The hemostasis time and hospital stay in the lung cancer group were significantly longer than those in the other etiological groups (P<0.05). The overall complication rate was 3.00% (6/200), all of which were mild reversible reactions with no serious complications. Conclusion Emergency BAE is an efficient and safe minimally invasive method for the treatment of acute hemoptysis, with significant clinical value.
