Abstract:
Intravesical balloon distention was used in 8 patients to stop intractable hemorrhage after radiotherapy for carcinoma of bladder. We recommend this method of treatment only in patients with no evidence of recurrent or residual invasive tumor in the bladder, where the source of bleeding is from superficial submucosal telangiectatic vessels.
