Popis: AIM To develop a model of clinical factors that may predict: (1) technically and clinically successful embolization of a bleeding vessel at digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for lower gastrointestinal bleed (LGIB); (2) a negative DSA in the presence of positive CT-mesenteric angiography (CTMA) for LGIB. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of all DSAs conducted with intent for embolization for acute LGIB over a 10-year period was undertaken. Pre-procedural and intra-procedural clinical variables were evaluated using uni- and multi-variate analysis. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-three DSAs were evaluated. Technical success was 81% and clinical success 78% where DSA was positive. Technical success was associated with super-selective approach, contrast extravasation on CT, haemoglobin drop, anatomical source and time from CT to DSA on univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, time from CT to DSA was significant with a higher success probability within 120 min with different factors being salient depending on degree of delay. Clinical success was only associated with activated partial thromboplastin time (
