    Transcatheter embolization effectively treated chronic pelvic cancer bleeding in five women. This minimally invasive procedure significantly reduced or stopped bleeding, offering a valuable therapeutic option.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Pelvic cancers can cause intractable vaginal and/or vesicle bleeding.
    • This bleeding often complicates treatment and impacts patient quality of life.

    Observation:

    • Five women with pelvic cancers experienced intractable bleeding.
    • Bleeding was attributed to radiation-induced granulation tissue or tumor tissue.

    Findings:

    • Transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric artery or its branches was performed.
    • Gelfoam and Oxycel reinforced autologous clots were used as embolic materials.
    • Bleeding was reduced by at least 90% in all patients, even without precise angiographic localization.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Transcatheter embolization is a useful treatment for intractable pelvic cancer bleeding.
    • The technique provides significant hemostasis, improving outcomes for affected patients.
    • This approach offers a viable alternative when the bleeding source is not clearly identified on angiography.
