Summary:
- Radiopaedia case ID: 49765
- Image ID: 26797597
- Plane projection: post coil
- Aux modality: Inferior mesenteric artery
- Study findings: The inferior mesenteric artery was catheterized using a 5-French VS2 catheter. Angiography demonstrates active bleeding arising from the proximal sigmoid branch, corresponding to the CT scan findings. This branch was super selectively catheterized using a microcatheter and embolization performed with micro coils. Good technical result was obtained.
- Modality: DSA (angiography)
- System: Gastrointestinal
- Findings: Active extravasation of contrast into the large bowel lumen at the junction of the descending colon and sigmoid colon is seen on the arterial phase study with further pooling of contrast on the delayed phase. There is no mass lesion at this site to suggest bleeding from a colonic malignancy, nor is there any surrounding inflammatory change to suggest diverticulitis as a cause.
