Therapeutic transluminal arterial embolization for bleeding in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract
Diagnosis and the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding by selective and superselective technique and the perfusion of vasopressors have been noted to have significant success. Transluminal embolization of a bleeding site represents an alternative method in patients who represent a poor operative risk and in those in whom vasopressor therapy has failed. The potential risks include intestinal ischemia and vary with the anatomic site.
