title: Transcatheter arterial embolisation for haemorrhage from the inferior epigastric artery after acupuncture: a case report.
abstract: We report a rare case of haemorrhage from the inferior epigastric artery, which was injured after acupuncture. The haemorrhage was successfully controlled by transcatheter arterial embolisation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the use of transcatheter arterial embolisation for inferior epigastric artery haemorrhage following acupuncture.
