Vasopressin (0.8-1.0 IU), diluted with saline (10 IU vasopressin per 100 ml saline), was selectively injected into the external carotid artery (ECA) to control massive hemorrhage caused by inaccessible serious craniofacial injuries in two patients. This method produced remarkable angiographic vasoconstriction at the involved ECA branches and resulted in immediate hemostasis. Intra-arterial vasopressin injection is a useful option for the treatment of intractable traumatic hemorrhage from inaccessible ECA branches.

Empiric embolization by vasospasm therapy for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding: a preliminary report.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Department of Radiology, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
To report the preliminary result of empiric embolization for angiographycally-negative lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) by using the pharmaco-induced vasospasm technique with or without the adjunctive use of intra-arterial multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). 23 LGIB patients with positive MDCT findings but negative angiographic results underwent empiric pharmaco-induced vasospasm therapy. The presumed bleeding artery was semi-selectively catheterized, and a segment of bowel was temporarily spasmed with bolus injection of epinephrine and immediately followed by 4-h' vasopressin infusion.

Purpose: Management of decompensated cirrhosis may include the use of vasoconstrictors that can lead to serious adverse events. OCE-205 was designed as a highly selective V1a receptor partial agonist, intended to have a wider therapeutic window than full vasopressin agonists.
Methods: We aimed to characterize the activity of OCE-205 treatment in two rat models of portal hypertension (PHT).

Patients with acute nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) not treatable via endoscopic therapy require angiography and endovascular management. If the source of the bleeding can be identified on angiography, the bleeding can be controlled with minimal complications by endovascular treatments such as intra-arterial infusion of vasopressin, embolization, covered stent placement, or a combination thereof. This pictorial essay reviews the angiographic findings for and the endovascular management of acute nonvariceal GIB.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a refined aortic flush catheter and pump system to induce emergency preservation and resuscitation before extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a normovolemic cardiac arrest swine model simulating near real size/weight conditions of adults.
Methods: In this feasibility study, 8 female Large White breed pigs weighing 70 to 80 kg underwent ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest for 15 minutes, followed by 4°C aortic flush (150 mL/kg for the brain; 50 mL/kg for the spine) via a new hardware ensued by resuscitation with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Results: Brain temperature was lowered from 39.
