Transcatheter embolization for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology Frisoli, J. K., Sze, D. Y., Kee, S. 2004; 7 (3): 136-142

Abstract

Over the past 20 years, the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) that is refractory to endoscopic treatment has been revolutionized by transcatheter embolization. Embolization techniques have evolved with the use of microcatheters and new embolic materials. The majority of patients are successfully treated by minimally invasive techniques and can avoid having surgery.
