An Intraoperative Guide in Small Bowel Resection for Arteriovenous Malformation

Richard Fogler, MD; Edward Golembe, MD

Arch Surg. 1978;113(2):194-195.

Abstract
• Injection of methylene blue dye into the superior mesenteric artery of a patient with arteriovenous malformation of the small bowel was helpful in identifying the field of resection. Preoperative selective angiography is essential in identifying this rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.
