Diagnosis of a Bleeding Dieulafoy Lesion on Computed Tomography and Its Subsequent Embolization by Robert M Penner, Richard J Owen, C Noel Williams

“…Reduced acquisition times required for multislice helical CT allow the application of CT angiography in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding. CT scans are now widely used in the diagnostic algorithm for acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and the present case illustrates that with fortuitous timing, they can provide critical information and an opportunity for selected angiography and coil embolization.…”
