Ruptured inferior gluteal artery aneurysm with exsanguinating rectal hemorrhage controlled by transcatheter coil embolization

  • Published:
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum

Abstract

A case of exsanguinating rectal and retroperitoneal hemorrhage resulting from a ruptured inferior gluteal artery aneurysm is presented. Transcatheter embolization of Gelfoam® and a Gianturco coil device resulted in the control of bleeding and proved to be a life-saving measure in a patient who was a poor surgical candidate.
