Objective To investigate the clinical effect of interventional radiotherapy combined with arterial embolization in treatment of patients with arteriogenic gastric hemorrhage.
Methods A total of 80 patients with arteriogenic gastric hemorrhage divided into two groups according to different treatments. The control group (n=40) was treated with traditional treatment of internal medicine, and the study group (n=40) was treated with interventional radiotherapy combined with arterial embolization. The success rate of hemostasis within 72 hours, the recurrence rate in half a year, the incidence of adverse reactions and the overall efficacy of the two groups were statistically analyzed.
Results The success rate of hemostasis within 72 hours in the study group was higher than that in the control group (100.00% vs. 85.00%, P < 0.05); the recurrence rate of arteriogenic gastric hemorrhage in the study group was lower than that in the control group (2.50% vs. 20.00%, P < 0.05); the incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that in the control group (5.00% vs. 27.50%, P < 0.05). The overall effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than that in the control group (97.50%vs. 77.50%, P < 0.05).
Conclusion The clinical effect of interventional radiotherapy combined with arterial embolization for patients with arteriogenic gastric hemorrhage is ideal, and it is safe and reliable in stopping bleeding successfully within 72 hours, and can reduce recurrence rate.
