Vascular Embolotherapy

5.12 Conclusion

Transcatheter embolization has the potential to further reduce mortality in acute non-variceal upper GIH, provided we continue our efforts to optimize the occlusive technique and enhance the haemostatic effect. Furthermore, increasing angiographic sensitivity, which in our opinion depends much on the alertness of the involved endoscopist, will reduce the need for non-targeted blind embolization. Whether transcatheter techniques can replace surgical salvage in upper GIH remains to be established by prospective randomized studies.
