Abstract: | Despite the rapid development of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities and techniques to manage LGIB patients from interventional radiology’s standpoint, a successful localization of the bleeding site that leads to an effective embolotherapy remains a significant technical challenge. The interventional radiologist’s decisions when managing patients with LGIB may significantly impact the clinical outcomes; therefore, management should be made based on careful and thorough considerations of factors such as etiology, locations, patient’s comorbidities, and potential post-procedure complications, among others. The purpose of this paper is to review the management of LGIB by interventional radiology, focusing on a few challenging and common clinical situations that require special consideration by interventional radiologists. |
