Severe bleeding in patients following “tubeless” percutaneous nephrolithotomy: Predictors of angioembolization
Elevated serum creatinine levels, upper pole access, and tract size >24 Fr are more prone to post-tubeless PCNL severe bleeding, which requires renal AE. The findings suggest that early angiography and possible AE should be considered for at-risk patients. In the future, these predictors may be integrated into predictive models to improve patient risk stratification.
