title: Angiographic management of gastrointestinal bleeding with vasopressin.
abstract: Selective arteriography and infusions of vasopressin have become valuable tools for localization and therapy of acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Gastric mucosal hemorrhage can be treated successfully in about 84% of cases. Gastric ulcers can be treated successfully in about 65-70%.
