When every second counts, precision saves lives.
A 72-year-old woman arrived at MGM Healthcare Malar, Adyar with severe intestinal bleeding, a potentially life-threatening condition. Our team acted swiftly to identify the exact source of the bleed using advanced imaging.
The Interventional Radiology and Hepatology teams performed a minimally invasive procedure called super-selective embolization using gelfoam and microcoils to precisely block the bleeding vessel without the need for open surgery.
This approach not only controlled the bleeding effectively but also helped preserve normal bowel function and ensured a quicker recovery.
