Transcatheter arterial embolization with Glubran-2 glue for treating hemorrhage after percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage / 中国介入影像与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE)with Glubran-2 glue for treating hemorrhage after percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD).Methods Data of 17 patients with hemorrhage after PTCD who underwent TAE with Glubran-2 glue were retrospectively analyzed.The technical success rate,clinical success rate and complications were observed.The red blood cell(RBC)and hemoglobin(Hb)on the day of TAE and the next day of TAE were compared,also the glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT)level before TAE,on the next day of TAE,on the second and the fourth day after TAE,respectively.Results The offending vessel of bleeding was successfully embolized in all 17 cases,both technical success rate of TAE and clinical success rate of hemostasis were 100%.There was no serious complication such as liver abscess,septicemia nor pulmonary embolism.No significant difference of RBC nor Hb was found between the day of TAE and the next day of TAE(both P＞0.05).GPT before TAE was lower than the next day of TAE and the second day after TAE(P＜0.05),while no significant difference of GPT was found before TAE and 4 days after TAE(P＞0.05).Conclusion TAE with Glubran-2 glue for treating hemorrhage after PTCD was safe and effective.
