Currently, endoscopic hemostasis is the «gold» standard in the treatment of patients suffering from ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding. General mortality in ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding according to the Department of ambulance organization of the research Institute of emergency care. I.I. Dzhanelidze in St. Petersburg in 2016 was 5%, and postoperative8,5%. Transcatheter arterial embolization, due to the development of endovascular hemostasis techniques, is an alternative to palliative surgery in the failure of conservative treatment of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding using endoscopic hemostasis techniques, especially in the group of patients with high risk of surgery and adverse outcome. It was found that the reduction in mortality in patients with gastric ulcer bleeding can be achieved by reducing the number of palliative interventions, wider use of angiographic embolization for the prevention and treatment of recurrent bleeding and expanding indications for urgent radical operations outside the recurrence of hemorrhage. The use of transcatheter arterial embolization in elderly patients with severe somatic pathology and recurrent gastric ulcer bleeding can prevent the recurrence of bleeding and perform hemostasis. The success of the transcatheter arterial embolization procedure depends on many factors. Primarily from the anatomical features of the patient. In one case, the patient had a 60% stenosis of the proximal segment of the gastrointestinal splenic trunk, which did not allow the procedure to be performed. Important is the choice of agents for embolization depending on the location and diameter of the source of bleeding. Success also depends on the technical equipment of the hospital and the experience of the surgeon. The absence of significant differences in mortality between the main and control groups, in our opinion, is due to the severity of the General somatic condition of patients included in the study. The obtained results determine the need for further studies to optimize the indications and methods of transcatheter arterial embolization in emergency surgery of gastroduodenal bleeding.
