The value of angiography in gastrointestinal and urological bleeding.
The results of 68 abdominal angiographies were evaluated retrospectively with regard to localization of severe gastrointestinal and urological bleeding. Endoscopy prior to angiography was either impossible or showed poor results. Results of survey angiography were not encouraging. Selective angiography was very confident in localizing a bleeding. The possibilities of embolization or vasopressin treatment through the angiographic catheter are mentioned.
