Abstrakt: Transcatheter embolization of the inferior mesenteric artery with steel coils was performed for the control of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding and sepsis. The bleeding and sepsis was caused by a very large arteriovenous fistula of the inferior mesenteric vessels. This iatrogenic lesion developed and became symptomatic just 5 weeks after an anterior resection of the rectum was performed. Following embolization, the patient made a speedy recovery from the sepsis and no recurrent bleeding was noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
