  • Title: The intraoperative localization of the obscure bleeding site using fluorescein.
    Author: Ohri SK, Jackson J, Desa LA, Spencer J.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1992 Jun; 14(4):331-4. PubMed ID: 1376739.
    Abstract:
    Despite visceral angiography and radiolabeled gastrointestinal scintigraphy, the localization of gastrointestinal bleeding can still be a challenge. Even preoperative localization with visceral angiography is no guarantee of successful intraoperative localization or subsequent pathological confirmation. We report a case of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding of small bowel origin, which was localized intraoperatively by fluorescein injected via a superselectively placed catheter.
