Radiological images and clinical data were reviewed to evaluate causes of bleeding, procedure-related complications, and clinical outcomes. Technical success was defined as the disappearance of contrast media extravasation or pseudoaneurysm, as demonstrated on completion angiography. Clinical success was defined as discharge from the hospital without any bleeding-related issues.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Hemorrhagic cholecystitis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200910) was the most common cause of bleeding, followed by iatrogenic (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20094), duodenal ulcer (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20093), tumor (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), and trauma (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091). Technical success was achieved in all cases, and clinical success was achieved in 70% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200914) of patients.
