Arterial embolization in the treatment of bleeding in inoperable gastric cancer: Have all the issues been resolved?
Clinical observation of the gastric bleeding for 64 years old patient having inoperable gastric cancer. Taking into account the low efficiency of the conservative and futility of the endoscopic treatment the embolization of the left gastric artery with the calibrated microsphere Embosphere (Biosphere Medical S.A.) through femoral approach was used. The occlusion of branches of the left gastric artery and the hemostasis was achieved. Tricky and unsolved issues of applying low-invasive bleeding treatment methods in case of malignant gastric tumors are discussed.
