AIM: To evaluate the early success of transarterial embolization (TAE) in @entity1 with traumatic liver @entity548 and to determine independent factors for its failure. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January 2009 to December 2012, TAE was performed in 48 @entity1 for traumatic liver @entity548 . Their medical charts were reviewed for demographic information, pre-TAE vital signs and laboratory data, injury grade, type of contrast medium extravasation (CME) at CT, angiography findings, and early failure. "Early failure" was defined as the need for repeated TAE or a laparotomy for hepatic @entity548 within 4 days after TAE. Variables were compared between the early success and early failure groups. Variables with univariate significance were also analysed using multivariate logistic regression for predictors of early failure. RESULTS: Among 48 liver TAE cases, nine (18.8%) were @entity177 due to liver @entity548 . Early failure was associated with injury grade (p  =  0.039), major @entity99 (grades 4 and 5; p  =  0.007), multiple CMEs at angiography (p  =  0.031), incomplete TAE (p  =  0.002), and elevated heart rate (p  =  0.026). Incomplete embolization (OR  =  8; p  =  0.042), and heart rate >110  beats/min (bpm; OR  =  8; p  =  0.05) were independent factors for early failure of TAE in the group with major @entity99 . CONCLUSION: Major @entity99 is an important factor in early failure. @entity1 with a heart rate >110  bpm and incomplete embolization in the @entity130 group have an increased rate of early failure. The success rate of proximal TAE was comparable to that of the more time-consuming, superselective, distal TAE.
