[Hemorrhages of the digestive tract. Diagnosis and treatment using selective arteriography and perfusion of intra-arterial vasopressin].

Diagnosis of GI bleeding can safely be done by selective angiography of abdominal vessels. Patients are studied during acute bleeding phase with the Seldinger-Odman technique. In our experience we have a success rate of 89.4% in cases of arterial bleeding. Once diagnosis has been made, the selective catheter can be used to perform an infusion of a vasoconstrictive drug or selective embolization to treat the bleeding. This technique gives good results in case of arterial bleeding and is only a paliative method in case of esophageal varices.
