Abstract
AIM: To explore the value of anisodamine applied to emergency digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for abdominal organ hemorrhage.
METHODS: Thirty-three patients with gastrointestinal or kidney hemorrhage underwent emergency DSA. Arterial injection of 10 mg of anisodamine was employed before angiography. DSA images were acquired during free breathing and post-processed using re-mask function.
RESULTS: Artifacts caused by gastrointestinal peristalsis were reduced remarkably. The image quality was satisfactory in all cases. Bleeding signs were presented in 27 cases (81.82%) and endovascular embolization was performed after superselective catheterization of the lesioned vessels.
CONCLUSION: The use of anisodamine before angiography can improve the quality of images acquired by emergency DSA for abdominal organ hemorrhage.
