Abstract
Acute active hemorrhage from an unknown site can lead dramatically and rapidly to irreversible shock. Immediate surgery is often correctly considered to be the only means to stop this hemorrhage. However, extensive surgery may be totally ineffective unless accurate, preoperative localization of the hemorhaging point is obtained. Selective arteriography is rapidly proving to be a safe, accurate, reliable and relatively simple method of obtaining this crucial preoperative information. Emergency selective arteriography unquestionably has taken an important place in the modern Department of Radiology.
