Abstract

We describe a case of intramural gastric hematoma with hemorrhagic shock caused by the formation of a large hematoma. Computed tomographic and angiographic examinations confirmed the presence of active bleeding into the hematoma. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was performed for hemostasis. To our knowledge, although 21 cases of intramural gastric hematoma have been reported in the literature, this is apparently the first case treated by TAE. We conclude that TAE is a safe and effective treatment option for intramural gastric hematoma confirmed to be associated with active bleeding into the hematoma.
