摘要
We report a case of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate glue embolization of life-threatening lower gastrointestinal (LGI) hemorrhage in a 10-month-old boy. The child had a history of gastroschisis and short-bowel syndrome. Six months prior to the LGI bleed, he had undergone a serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) to lengthen his intestine. To the best of our knowledge this is both the first report of successful glue embolization for LGI bleeding in a child and also the first report of severe hemorrhage after the STEP procedure.
