Angiography in the diagnosis and therapy of hemorrhage from the large bowel.

Angiography has added a new dimension to the management of hemorrhage from the large bowel. In patients with diverticular hemorrhage, mesenteric angiography not only localizes the bleeding site but, in addition, the bleeding can be acutely controlled with intraarterial infusion of vasopressin, making an emergency colectomy unnecessary. Similarly in patients bleeding from inflammatory bowel disease or in patients with post-operative hemorrhage, angiography provides information about the nature of the lesion and selective arterial infusions of vasopressin can control the bleeding. At times intestinal varices have angiographically been demonstrated as a potential source of rectal hemorrhage while in patients with unexplained lower gastrointestinal bleeding and repeatedly negative barium and endoscopic examinations, angiography has been valuable for the diagnosis of angiodysplasia of the colon.

Nonocclusive mesenteric vascular insufficiency.

A case of nonocclusive mesenteric vascular insufficiency in a patient with congestive heart failure on digitalis and with arrhythmia is presented. The preoperative diagnosis was made through mesenteric arteriography. A course of treatment was followed which we believe prevented intestinal gangrene. This regimen includes measures to increase cardiac output, local pharmacologic agents to induce mesenteric vasodilatation, antibiotics, and oxygen. The viability of the intra-abdominal organs was demonstrated by laparotomy.
