Superselective embolization is effective in controlling colonic hemorrhage and is associated with a low rate of postembolization ischemia. Our experience with angiography reinforces the paradigm shift from its use as a diagnostic tool to the primary method for the control of colonic bleeding. Because patients have been followed up for as long as seven years, this approach remains effective for the long-term treatment of colonic bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
