  • Title: [Hematochezia due to jejunal diverticula and treated by arterial embolization].
    Author: Alibert S, Sassenou I, Heyries L, Bartoli JM, Bernard JP, Sahel J.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 2003 Jun; 27(6-7):648-50. PubMed ID: 12910231.
    Abstract:
    Digestive bleeding is a rare complication of jejunal diverticulas whose diagnosis and treatment are difficult. We report a case of hematochezia whose origin was not determined by endoscopic investigations. Coelio-mesenteric arteriography showed a leakage of contrast medium from a jejunal arterial branch and allowed a successful embolization of the arterial branches feeding the bleeding point.
