Transcatheter hemostasis in the genitourinary tract

  • Published:
Urologic radiology

Abstract

Transcatheter hemostasis is applicable in a large variety of causes of genitourinary hemorrhage. The method is particularly useful in the management of trauma since temporary occlusion of the bleeding vessel usually produces cessation of hemorrhage without significant sacrifice of additional parenchyma. Control of arteriovenous fistulas requires an assessment of flow characteristics and careful tailoring of catheter and embolization technique; large emboli or glue is frequently required for occlusion of large fistulas, whereas small ones can be treated with Ivalon. Hemorrhage from renal or pelvic neoplasm is also effectively managed by transcatheter therapy.
