摘要

Objectives

To investigate the safety and efficacy of transarterial embolization (TAE) in patients with bleeding gastroduodenal peptic ulcers with an emphasis on prophylactic TAE (pTAE).

Methods

This retrospective cohort study was conducted from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2022. The primary outcome was rebleeding rate after TAE. Secondary outcomes were frequency and severity of complications, 30-day mortality rate, and overall survival.

Results

87 patients were included. The overall rebleeding rate after TAE was 13/87 (15%). The rebleeding rate was non-significantly higher in the therapeutic TAE (tTAE) group (31%) when compared to the pTAE group (12%). Minor complications were observed in 14/87 patients (16%) and severe complications were observed in 6/87 patients (7%). The complication rate did not differ between the tTAE and pTAE groups. The 30-day overall mortality rate was 19/87 (22%). The 30-day mortality rate was non-significantly higher in the tTAE-group (31%) when compared to the pTAE group (20%). Of the 19 mortalities within 30-days, three were considered procedure-related. The overall median survival rate was 21 months (95% CI: 9.8 – 31). A non-significant higher median survival of 46.7 months (95% CI 1.2 – 74.9) was observed in the tTAE group when compared to 20.5 months (95% CI 7.1–29.1) in the pTAE group.

Conclusion

TAE is safe and efficient but is associated with a high 30-day mortality rate and poor overall survival owing to a high burden of comorbidity and disease-related rather than TAE-related complications. Further studies are needed to clarify the gain and selection criteria for pTAE.
