Severe Gastrointestinal Haemorrhage: Haemangiomata Demonstrated by Selective Visceral Arteriography

E C Ashby, T J Mott, F Starer
PMCID: PMC1912886  PMID: 5303558

Abstract

Selective visceral arteriography was found to be invaluable in the management of two cases of severe gastrointestinal haemorrhage associated with cavernous haemangiomata (a large gastric haemangioma and a small jejunal haemangioma). It is suggested that arteriography may be indicated in cases where a previous laparotomy has not shown the cause of bleeding, when the patient's general condition precludes a prolonged operation, and when superficial haemangiomata are found.
