title: [Embolization treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding: an alternative to surgical intervention?].
abstract: Three inoperable patients with massive GI-bleeding were embolized. In all three patients hemostasis via the angiographic catheters was successful without producing intestinal wall necrosis. Indication and risk of an intentional vascular occlusion by transcatheter technique should be evaluated separately for each patient.
