  • Title: The use of thumbtacks to stop massive presacral hemorrhage.
    Author: Nivatvongs S, Fang DT.
    Journal: Dis Colon Rectum; 1986 Sep; 29(9):589-90. PubMed ID: 3488887.
    Abstract:
    Massive bleeding from the sacral basivertebral vein is uncommon and can be fatal because conventional methods to control the bleeding are often futile. Occlusion of the bleeding site with a titanium thumbtack is easy and effective.
