title: [Considerations regarding the role of arterial embolization with an angiographic approach in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding: personal experience].
abstract: Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be produced by varicose, inflammatory-ulcerative or neoplastic lesions of the eosophageal-gastric-duodenal anatomical district. The aim of this study was to define the role of arterial embolotherapy with an angiographic approach in the treatment of these conditions, starting from our personal experience and a review of the literature. The treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is based on a multimodal approach in which arterial embolotherapy has its place alongside endoscopy and surgery.
