Angiography and interventional therapy for acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage

Objective:To explore the clinical value of angiography in diagnosing gastrointestinal hemorrhage,and to discuss the significance of interventional management.Methods:The acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage was verified by selective DSA in 26 cases.14 cases were performed with artery embolization or pituitrin transcatheter infused.Results:Positive was seen in 19 cases,while negative in 7 cases.Interventional treatment was carried out in 14 cases,of which the bleeding was completely stopped in 11,partially controlled in 2 and reoccurred 48 hours later in 1.Conclusion:Selective angiography is of affirmative value in determing the location and nature of the gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Angiography in suitable time gives a high detectable positive rate,and hemorrhage can be effectively controlled with artery embolization or pituitrin transcatheter infused.
