Abstract
The treatment of arterial gastrointestinal hemorrhage continues to evolve. Currently, most interventional radiologists approach bleeding both in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract with intention to treat. Embolization has replaced local vasoconstrictive therapy as the catheter-based treatment of choice in many hospitals. Coaxial microcatheters have simplified embolotherapy and enabled lower gastrointestinal bleeding to be treated safely and effectively.Entities:
