Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:23

Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management

The clinical manifestations of gastritis can vary depending on the cause and type of gastritis, but some common symptoms may include the following.
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management01:28

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Lower GI Series: Barium Enema01:23

Lower GI Series: Barium Enema

A Barium Enema, or a lower GI series, is a specialized radiographic examination designed to visualize the lower gastrointestinal tract, specifically the colon and rectum. This procedure is instrumental in diagnosing various conditions such as colorectal cancer, polyps, diverticulosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Procedure Details
The examination begins by inserting a lubricated rectal tube into the patient's rectum to administer a radiopaque barium solution. The barium flow is carefully...
Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction01:24

Esophageal Varices-I: Introduction

Esophageal varices are dilated, tortuous veins which are found mainly in the submucosa of the lower esophagus but which may also appear higher up or extend into the stomach. They develop due to increased pressure in the portal venous system, often as a result of liver cirrhosis. This condition scars and damages the liver, impeding normal blood flow through the portal vein. To compensate, blood seeks alternative pathways, forming fragile new vessels (varices) in the esophagus and stomach. These...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Complications01:25

Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Complications

Duodenal UlcersDuodenal ulcers are the most common form of peptic ulcer disease, presenting with chronic, intermittent epigastric pain. Pain typically appears 2–3 hours after meals, especially when the stomach is empty, often waking patients at night. It is characteristically relieved by food or antacids (“pain–food–relief”). Some patients remain asymptomatic until complications like bleeding or perforation emerge, particularly with NSAID or anticoagulant use.Gastric UlcersGastric ulcers share...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) requires prompt intervention when standard treatments fail. Endovascular embolization offers a lifesaving option for acute LGIB cases, guided by interventional radiologists.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) affects approximately 20.5 per 100,000 individuals annually in Western populations.
  • LGIB accounts for 1-2% of all hospital emergencies, often necessitating advanced interventions.
  • Medical and endoscopic therapies can be insufficient for managing acute LGIB.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of endovascular intervention in managing acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • To detail the multidisciplinary preangiographic work-up, angiographic findings, and endovascular treatment options for LGIB.
  • To present a case study of LGIB successfully managed with endovascular embolization.

Main Methods:

  • Review of case management for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Description of angiographic techniques employed for diagnosis and treatment.
  • Discussion of endovascular therapeutic strategies, including embolization.

Main Results:

  • Successful management of acute LGIB through endovascular embolization.
  • Demonstration of effective angiographic techniques in identifying bleeding sources.
  • Comprehensive overview of endovascular options for LGIB.

Conclusions:

  • Endovascular intervention is a vital, potentially lifesaving treatment for acute LGIB unresponsive to conventional therapies.
  • Interventional radiologists must possess expertise in the preangiographic work-up, diagnostic angiography, and therapeutic embolization for LGIB.
  • This case underscores the efficacy of endovascular embolization in managing severe lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
