Abstract

Background: Acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding is an urgent, potentially life-threatening emergency, especially in case endoscopy is not identifiable or uncontrollable in management bleeding. Following the development of technology and applying minimal invasive modalities, endovascular treatment is more and more to be applied.


Methods: Case series


Results: From 01/2019 to 01/2022, 35 procedures were performed in 24 patients with 12 angiographies and 23 embolisms. The rate of technical success was 95.6% and clinical success reaches 81.8%. There was no major complication relating to bowel ischemia.


Conclusion:


Transcatheter angiographic embolization is a safe and effective management for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding with minimal invasive.
