Treatment of lower gastrointestinal bleeding: vasopressin infusion versus embolization

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology : JVIR
Michael Darcy

Abstract

Traditionally, embolization has been reserved for treatment of upper gastrointestinal bleeding whereas lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding has been controlled with vasopressin infusion. This is based on findings in older literature in which infarction frequently complicated LGI embolization. With modern embolization techniques, clinically significant bowel ischemia has become an uncommon complication. Although the efficacies of vasopressin and embolization are fairly comparable, embolotherapy has advantages in terms of quicker completion of therapy and decreased likelihood of systemic complications. Although vasopressin is still probably preferable for diffuse lesions and cases in which superselective catheterization is not technically possible, embolization should be considered a primary option for treating LGI bleeding.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Antianginal Drugs: Mechanisms of Action

Antianginal drugs, including nitrates, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers, are used in the treatment of angina pectoris. Here is the latest research on their use and their mechanism of action.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.
