Consecutive adult patients who developed clinically significant persistent post-PCNL hemorrhage and underwent DSA were assessed. Persistent hematuria was operationally defined as severe visible hematuria persisting for &gt;24\u2009h despite conservative management or recurrent severe hematuria after initial stabilization. DSA referral followed predefined escalation criteria after failure of conservative measures, including hemodynamic instability, Hb drop \u2a7e3\u2009g\/dL within 24\u2009h or progressive decline, transfusion requirement \u2a7e2\u2009units within 24\u2009h, and\/or recurrent clot retention requiring clot evacuation and\/or continuous bladder irrigation. TAE was performed only when DSA demonstrated a culprit vascular lesion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age of the study population was 55.1\u2009\u00b1\u200910.6\u2009years, and 68% were male. Among the 100 patients who underwent DSA for persistent post-PCNL hemorrhage, 36 (36%) required TAE, while 64 (64%) had normal angiographic findings and were managed conservatively. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, diabetes mellitus (odds ratio (OR) 7.42), larger stone size (OR 1.27 per mm), higher stone density (OR 1.007 per Hounsfield unit), greater skin-to-stone distance (OR 1.14 per mm), and longer operative time (OR 1.18 per minute) independently predicted the need for TAE. Pseudoaneurysm was identified in 77.8% of embolized patients and arteriovenous fistula in 22.2%. Selective coil embolization achieved 100% clinical success without the need for repeat embolization, surgical exploration, or nephrectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among patients undergoing DSA for clinically significant persistent post-PCNL hemorrhage, diabetes mellitus, larger stone size, higher stone density, greater skin-to-stone distance, and longer operative time were independently associated with the need for TAE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17562872261458089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]],"date-time":"2026-06-19T08:50:35Z","timestamp":1781859035000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Predisposing factors for angioembolization in persistent hematuria after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Alfiel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdolreza","family":"Mohammadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Mahdi Mehrabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Ashtari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farshid","family":"Alaedini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tehran Heart Center, Cardiovascular Diseases Research Institute, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7664-5329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fateme","family":"Guitynavard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parsa","family":"Nikoofar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Northern Ontario School of Medicine, Thunder Bay, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1611-0362","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seyed Mohammad Kazem","family":"Aghamir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urology Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Sina Hospital, Hassan Abad Sq., Imam Khomeini Ave., Tehran 1416753955, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060520983136"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpurol.2011.02.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/8817070"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MS9.0000000000002502"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18565\/urology.2020.5.139-148"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajur.2021.05.007"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.eururo.2011.09.016"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000043606"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000020129"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_4_11_2","article-title":"Post PCNL renal pseudoaneurysm and AV fistula: single institution analysis","volume":"6","author":"Anand A","year":"2020","unstructured":"Anand A, Manhas A.
