  • Title: Balloon embolization of a bleeding gastroduodenal artery in a 1-year-old child.
    Author: Janik JS, Culham JA, Filler RM, Shandling B, Stringel G.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1981 May; 67(5):671-4. PubMed ID: 6973131.
    Abstract:
    Severe stress can produce ulceration and uncontrollable hemorrhage in the pediatric age group. Modern angiographic techniques, using embolization of a Silastic balloon to occlude a visualized bleeding vessel, can successfully control hemorrhage and avoid surgical intervention and its resultant disordered gastric physiology. Recently this technique was used to control hemorrhage from the gastroduodenal artery in a 1-year-old child with severe respiratory sepsis. This is the youngest reported child in whom the technique has been used to control bleeding from this vessel.
