Article Synopsis
- Mesenteric embolization is an effective treatment for lower gastrointestinal bleeding, with 48% of patients showing active bleeding during angiograms.
- Out of the 83 episodes analyzed, 45% resulted in successful embolization, leading to immediate cessation of bleeding in all cases, although 24% later experienced rebleeding.
- The study highlights potential complications from repeat embolization, including ischemic bowel, indicating that while embolization is generally successful, careful monitoring and management are necessary.
