Abstract:
Conventional embolization such as coiling of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding may be rendered impossible or unsuitable due to anatomical and technical factors. Liquid (Onyx) embolization in such situations may prove valuable and life saving, though literature on the subject, particularly of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to duodenal ulcer, is sparse. We present a technically challenging case of acutely rebleeding duodenal ulcer embolized successfully using ethylene polyvinyl alcohol polymer (Onyx).
