Abstract
Arteriovenous malformation of the gastrointestinal tract is relatively rare in adults. The most accurate diagnosis is by angiography and pre-operative localization has been reported, including by coil embolization, catheter or guidewire replacement, and intraoperative staining techniques. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with acute and massive small intestinal haemorrhage due to jejunal ateriovenous malformation, which was embolized immediately with N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. The technique is rapid and safe under fluoroscopy control and the method can help surgeons with mini-laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery because of the clear localization and stable condition of the patient.
