Embolisation in small bowel haemorrhage

A G Chalmers et al. Clin Radiol. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

As embolism of small bowel arteries carries the risk of bowel infarction, the technique is usually reserved for situations where a vasopressin infusion has failed to control bleeding. We report three cases in which embolisation was used as the primary treatment to control small bowel haemorrhage without the complication of bowel infarction.
