BACKGROUND: Intractable nonvariceal @entity360 ( @entity360 ) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular therapy is an alternative to surgery for high-risk @entity1 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: Review of prospectively collected data from @entity1 who underwent emergent gastroduodenal artery embolization for @entity360 . RESULTS: Eight @entity1 (mean age 68.5 years) were identified. They all had significant comorbidities and were deemed to be at high risk for surgical intervention. Endoscopy was performed in 7 @entity1 . Active extravasation was present at the time of embolization in 5 (62.5%) @entity1 . The technical success and clinical response rates were each 100%. The 30-day mortality rate was 12.5%. [corrected] There were no procedure-related complications. During mean follow-up of 9 months, 1 @entity1 developed recurrent @entity548 that was managed conservatively. COMMENTS: Endovascular embolization is a safe alternative to open surgical intervention after failed endoscopic treatment for @entity360 . Surgeons with endovascular skills can perform this procedure with superior results.
