title: [Hemostatic embolization. A report on 212 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: Among 1200 patients who have undergone embolization procedure in Lariboisière Hospital, 212 were treated to achieve hemostasis. The topographical repartition shows a preeminence in the cervico-cephalic area (91 cas) but also that hemorrages can now be controlled by this method in any part of the body. Regarding the type of the hemorrages, one must distinguish acute or semi-acute bleedings (52 cases) where embolization may instantaneously stop the hemorrage and spare arterial ligation. Pre-operative embolization (48 cases) allows surgeons to operate under excellent conditions in case of highly vascular lesions. Chronic bleedings (112 cases) affords great relief to the patient while often providing a life saving solution, when other therapeutic have failed.
