[Therapy of intestinal bleeding by the intra-arterial injection of a synthetic vasopressin derivative].
The synthetic drug Ornipressin was injected through a 3-French catheter introduced into the superior or inferior mesenteric artery by a coaxial method in nine patients with massive bleeding from the colon. In all patients the bleeding was stopped. In one female patient with a tumour, bleeding recurred, but was stopped by embolisation treatment. There were no complications needing treatment. As a method of treatment for bleeding from diverticula, the following procedure is recommended: an attempt should be made to stop bleeding by injecting vasopressin, or one of its derivatives and the use of a 3-French catheter by a co-axial method is advantageous. If vasopressin is contra-indicated, or is unsuccessful, catheter embolisation is recommended.
