Role of transcatheter arterial embolization for massive bleeding from gastroduodenal ulcers

Figure 3 Digital subtraction images from a 37-year-old man with massive hematemesis. A, B: Selective angiography shows a bleeding ulcer in the fundus of the stomach. Extravasation of contrast medium from a branch of the left gastroepiploic artery is seen (arrows); C: The control angiogram after glue embolization throughout the splenic artery shows complete and selective occlusion of the bleeding branch, with no active bleeding. The patient was discharged from the hospital 4 d later.
