Abstract

 In this study, we aim to assess the efficacy and safety of super-selective mesenteric embolization in managing acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB).

Method: A retrospective case series of patient with LGIB treated with super-selective mesenteric embolization in our area health service.

Results: There were 23 hospital admissions with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding in 6-month period (from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020). Of these, twelve patients were embolised. Immediate haemostasis was achieved in all embolised cases. Three patients had clinical re-bleeding postembolization (25%). One patient was progressed on to surgery. Others two cases were successfully re-embolised. However, one of them was dead due to severe comorbidity (8,3%). There was no documented case of bowel ischemia or ischemic-stricture.

Conclusion: Super-selective mesenteric embolization is a viable, safe and effective management for acute LGIB.
