Background: Although the morbidity of bowel ischemic events after glue embolization has been suggested, a causal relationship between glue and ischemia has not been clearly established.Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of transcatheter arterial embolization with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA-TAE) for upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH).Material and Methods: Between October 2006 and October 2012, 21 patients with upper GIH underwent NBCA-TAE, and endoscopic data were obtained within 30 days of follow-up. Shock index prior to and immediately after NBCA-TAE were compared to determine changes in hemodynamics. Days to Forrest type III, as assessed by follow-up endoscopy, was used as an indicator of the healing process. Other clinical outcomes included days for starting ingestion and for hospital discharge.Results: Sixteen gastric and five duodenal ulcers, classified into Forrest type I, were treated. Immediate hemostasis was achieved in all the patients, and no re-bleeding occurred within the follow-up period. Shock index significantly (P < 0.001) improved from before (0.99 +/- 0.076) to immediately after NBCA-TAE (0.67 +/- 0.038). Sequential mucosal healing processes were observed in all the patients, and the number of days to Forrest type III was 9.6 +/- 7.1. The number of days for starting ingestion and hospital discharge was 9.0 +/- 4.5 and 15 +/- 7.7 days, respectively.Conclusion: NBCA-TAE is an effective and safe method for the control of nonvariceal upper GIH, in terms of contribution to hemodynamics and healing process of the gastroduodenal mucosa.
