Abstract

Read online

We treated a 78-year-old female affected by nontraumatic spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma. We decided to perform the embolization with the new liquid agent Squidperi. Complete exclusion of the bleeding vessel was obtained without complications. Its use should be considered for treatment of nontraumatic rectus sheath hematoma.
