title: Intraoperative angiography and the localization of bleeding from the small intestine.
abstract: A technique of intraoperative angiography involving the use of metallic clips and a comparison with preoperative vascular anatomy has proved quite useful in localizing the site of bleeding from the small intestine. This safe, relatively simple technique, can be a valuable adjunct to the diagnosis of the source of obscure, major bleeding from the small intestine.
