Excerpt

Acute gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is associated with significant morbidity and mortality [1]. Most cases are treated medically by correction of coagulation or endoscopically. Nonetheless, there remains a group of patients with significant bleeding for which these methods fail and endovascular treatment is indicated. Endovascular treatment is now the preferred option compared with open surgery due to the advantages of reduced morbidity and mortality. …
