Retrospective cohort study reveals lower mortality with transarterial embolization after ulcer bleeding, indicating potential benefits in managing complications.

Patients undergoing pTAE after rebleeding had lower mortality, but the limited number of pTAE patients precluded firm conclusions on the effect.
