OBJECTIVE: To study the long-term outcome, safety, and complications of @entity1416 ( @entity1416 ) in the treatment of @entity1 with massive hemoptysis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 232 cases of massive hemoptysis treated with @entity1416 from February 2000 to February 2009 in our hospital was carried out.
