Arterial Bleeding and Vascular Malformation (AVM, Hemangioma) Treatment
Bleeding and vascular malformations (AVM and hemangioma) that occur in the arteries can lead to serious health problems. Interventional radiology methods provide a minimally invasive and effective approach to treating these conditions.
What Is Arterial Bleeding?
-
Arterial bleeding occurs when high-pressure blood leaks out of an artery. It usually results from injury, trauma, aneurysm rupture, or weakening of the arterial wall.
Symptoms
-
Sudden and Severe Pain
-
Rapid Pulse, Low Blood Pressure
-
Pale Skin, Cold Sweating
-
Internal Bleeding: Severe abdominal or chest pain, dizziness, fainting
Bleeding Treatment with Interventional Radiology
-
How Is Angiographic Embolization Performed?
A catheter is guided to the bleeding artery, and the bleeding site is identified. Then, embolization materials (such as coils, glue, or particles) are placed inside the vessel to stop the bleeding.
Advantages: The bleeding can be stopped quickly and effectively without the need for surgery. -
How Is Stent Grafting Performed?
If the bleeding is caused by a rupture or aneurysm in the artery wall, a stent graft is placed in the damaged area to restore normal blood flow.
Advantages: It seals the rupture site and prevents the bleeding from recurring.
Why Interventional Radiology?
-
Minimally Invasive: Performed through small needle punctures without large surgical incisions.
-
Less Pain and Faster Recovery: Patients can return to their normal lives in a shorter time.
-
High Success Rate: Modern imaging techniques allow for precise and effective treatment.
