Abstract
Superselective catheter placement with angiographic techniques and methylene blue injection at laparotomy through a prepositioned angiographic catheter helped to localize small bowel bleeding lesions. The technique was successfully applied in 2 patients with arteriovenous malformations and 1 patient with bleeding mucosal ulcerations of the small bowel.
