Embolization Iatrogenic Hemorrhage after Paracentesis - PMC Rarely, hemorrhage may occur due to inadvertent injury to a branch of the inferior epigastric artery CASE REPORT A 44-year-old African American woman with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C infection, and a history of alcohol abuse presented to our emergency department with left lower quadrant swelling
Massive Abdominal Wall Hemorrhage from Injury to the Inferior . . . The possibility of collateral bleeding from the contralateral inferior epigastric artery or ipsilateral internal mammary artery should be considered when an abdominal wall injury is sufficiently high or medial to raise this concern or when the patient’s condition does not stabilize despite adequate occlusion of the target vessel
Hemorrhagic ascites from iatrogenic injury of the inferior . . . Iatrogenic injury to the inferior epigastric artery and deep circumflex iliac artery are very common during abdominal paracentesis This case highlights the importance of performing multi-phases for all patients presented with active bleeding to look for the source and evidence of acute bleeding
Superselective transcatheter arterial embolization of . . . Acute hematoma in the anterior abdominal wall due to hemorrhage of the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain and frequently self-limiting The fail in the diagnostic can lead to life-threatening complications in patients with comorbidities [ 3 ]
Transcatheter Embolization of the Inferior Epigastric Artery . . . This was a retrospective study including patients with verified rectus muscle sheath hematoma as a result of active extravasation from the inferior epigastric artery referred for transcatheter embolization Technical success, clinical success and major complications were calculated
Transcatheter embolization for the management of acute active . . . Methods: From 1996 to 2012, 52 consecutive patients (26 men; mean age 63±15 years) with hemodynamically relevant active abdominal wall hematoma were admitted for TAE of the inferior epigastric artery Of these, 19 patients had spontaneous hemorrhage due to use of anticoagulants, 18 due to abdominal trauma, and 15 due to an iatrogenic complication
American Journal of Case Reports | Local Injection of Fluid . . .
