Stopping bleeding by embolisation.

Embolisation of Bleeding Renal Angiomyolipoma in Pregnancy

Bleeding from renal angiomyolipoma in pregnancy can be catastrophic to both mother and fetus. Selective arterial embolisation is considered more superior than conventional surgery in these patients. Our case report exemplifies how a bleeding angiomyolipoma was halted with embolisation in our pregnant patient.

Stopping the bleeding in intracerebral hemorrhage.

Beyond aggressive supportive care, clinicians have not had specific treatments to offer patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The article by Mayer et al. 1 in this issue of the Journal offers new hope for targeted therapy for this frequent cause of neurologic disability and death. Intracerebral hemorrhage is estimated to account for 10 to 15 percent of all strokes and to have a one-year morta...

Stopping bleeding is not enough to FIX hemarthropathy.

approach in need of further study for chronic myeloid malignancies. As mentioned earlier, the most wellcharacterized role of the enzymatic activity of mutant CBL is ubiquitinylating receptor tyrosine kinases for proteasome degradation as part of the negative feedback mechanism after cytokine stimulation. This model now provides a platform to identify the effects of CBL mutations on the proteome...

Treatment of haemobilia by selective arterial embolisation.

We report a patient in whom haemobilia occurred after percutaneous liver biopsy. Selective hepatic arteriography showed a fistula between hepatic artery and portal venous system, with appearance of contrast in the biliary tract. Intrahepatic bleeding was stopped by arterial embolisation with a mixture of gelatine foam and sterile dura mater. Cholecytectomy was subsequently required as a haemoch...
