Comparison of the efficacy and safety of super-selective and selective transcatheter arterial embolization in non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vascular interventional therapy (TAE) is an effective treatment for most abdominal organ hemorrhages, especially for non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding (NVGIB) unresponsive to endoscopy. While selective and super selective embolization are two key interventional hemostasis methods, research on their application in total gastrointestinal bleeding is limited. This study compares these two techniques to assess their safety in non-variceal gastrointestinal bleeding hemostasis.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study on patients with NVGIB who received vascular interventional therapy from August 2014 to October 2024, comparing the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with selective or super-selective embolization. The primary outcome was clinical su
