- Selective catheterisation of the superior mesenteric artery with a Cobra and glide wire, angiography performed.
- Challenging imaging due to bowel mobility and suboptimal breath holds. Using correlation with the CT, the site of bleeding was identified.
- Selective catheterisation of the branches of the SMA with a Fathom and renegade catheter.
- 3 small coils deployed (one 3 x 2 mm Tornado and two 4 x 2 mm Tornado).
- Post embolisation angiogram demonstrated reduced flow to the region and no active extravasation.
