PURPOSE: To identify clinical and technical factors influencing the outcome of transcatheter embolotherapy for @entity360 and to quantify the impact of successful intervention on @entity1 survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of all @entity1 (n = 163) who underwent @entity1416 for @entity360 at a university hospital over an 11.5-year period. Clinical success was defined as target area devascularization that resulted in the clinical cessation of bleeding and stabilization of hemoglobin level. The clinical condition of each @entity1 at intervention was defined by history, laboratory examination, and two composite indicator variables. With use of logistic regression, the dependent variable, clinical success, was modeled on two categories of clinical and technical variables. A final model regressed @entity1 survival on clinical success and other clinical variables. RESULTS: None of the procedural variables analyzed had a significant influence on clinical success. Several clinical variables did impact clinical success, including multiorgan system failure (OR, 0.36; P =.030), @entity1003 (OR, 0.36; P =.026), and bleeding subsequent to @entity130 (OR, 7.1; P =.040) or invasive procedures (OR, 6.5; P =.009). Regardless of their clinical condition at intervention, @entity1 who underwent clinically successful embolization were 13.3 times more likely to survive than those who had an unsuccessful procedure (CI, 4.54-39.2; P =.000). Nevertheless, @entity1 with multiorgan system failure were 17.5 times more likely to die, independent of the outcome of the procedure (CI, 0.014-0.229; P =.000). CONCLUSION: Arresting nonvariceal @entity360 with transcatheter embolotherapy has a large positive effect on @entity1 survival, independent of clinical condition or demonstrable extravasation at intervention. Aggressive treatment with transcatheter embolotherapy is advisable in @entity1 with acute nonvariceal @entity360 .
