title: [Three Cases of Bleeding from Advanced Gastric Cancer Treated by Transcatheter Arterial Embolization(TAE)and Continued Chemotherapy].
abstract: Case 1: A man in his 70s was underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) because of progressive anemia, and the gastroduodenal artery and left gastric artery were embolized. Two weeks later, he started chemotherapy (S-1, Tmab). Case 2: A man in his 60s was underwent TAE because of anemia. The left gastric artery and right gastroepiploic artery were embolized. Bleeding was controlled and he continued chemotherapy. Case 3: A man in his 70s was who vomited blood during the course of chemotherapy underwent TAE, during which contrast dye extravasated from the anterior gastric artery. The splenic artery was embolized. After TAE, abdominal pain and splenic infarction appeared, but could be treated by conservative therapy. Chemotherapy was started 4 weeks later. TAE is an effective method for controlling bleeding from advanced gastric cancer.
