It was reported that embolism occurred.Obsidio was selected for use in a left gastric embolization procedure.The vessel size was 3mm or less.Approximately.3ml of the obsidio material was injected using a 2.8 french high flo microcatheter.Approximately.05ml of the obsidio material went distal as intended.Occlusion was reached very quickly.On the same day, obsidio was noted to have gone to the stomach.Necrosis occurred and the patient was sent to the operating room (or) to resect a small portion of the stomach that had the necrosis.The patient fully recovered.

It was reported that embolism occurred.Obsidio was selected for use in a left gastric embolization procedure.The vessel size was 3mm or less.Approximately.3ml of the obsidio material was injected using a 2.8 french high flo microcatheter.Approximately.05ml of the obsidio material went distal as intended.Occlusion was reached very quickly.On the same day, obsidio was noted to have gone to the stomach.Necrosis occurred and the patient was sent to the operating room (or) to resect a small portion of the stomach that had the necrosis.The patient fully recovered.It was further reported that the patient had a history of refractory upper gastrointestinal bleeding over at least 8 months.The patient was in and out of the hospital for these events and underwent multiple prior endoscopy procedures with clippings and empiric gastroduodenal artery embolization with coils.The patient was transferred to the hospital with persistent bleeding.Endoscopy was performed and demonstrated ulcerations throughout the gastric fundus.The patient underwent angiography which did not demonstrate active bleeding or other angiographic evidence of a source of bleeding.The gastroduodenal artery was occluded from the previous coils.The target lesion was located in the empiric left gastric artery.A total of 0.2-0.3 ml of obsidio was given via the renegade hiflo microcatheter.Initially the obsidio was injected slowly to allow it to flow more distally in the artery and then a more brisk injection was performed to obtain a more proximal occlusion.The aliquot technique was not utilized.The physicians were satisfied with the angiographic result and achieved the desired occlusion of the left gastric artery.The next morning, the patient complained of moderate mid-epigastric pain.The patient underwent a computerized tomography (ct) scan which demonstrated pneumatosis around the stomach and portal vein air.The patient underwent an emergency laparotomy and ischemia with demarcation was noted from the gastroesophageal junction through the gastric antrum.A gastrectomy was performed, and the patients abdomen was left opened for 3 days.This was followed by gastrojejunostomy and closure of the abdomen.The patient has done well since the surgery without any additional complications and no further gastrointestinal bleeding.
