Overview

Case report demonstrates durable hemostasis using super selective vesical artery embolization in Glanzmann thrombasthenia, highlighting an effective alternative to repeat surgery.

Key Points

  • To describe the successful management of refractory, life-threatening hematuria caused by multiple bladder hemangiomas in a patient with Glanzmann thrombasthenia.
  • Evaluated a 66-year-old male with Glanzmann thrombasthenia presenting with severe anemia, clot retention, and life-threatening hematuria.
  • Administered supportive therapy comprising blood transfusions, recombinant activated factor VII, and transurethral electrocoagulation.
  • Performed super selective vesical artery embolization to achieve definitive hemostasis, with post-procedural clinical follow-up for six months.
  • Super selective vesical artery embolization achieved complete and durable hemostasis after recurrence followed medical and endoscopic interventions.
  • No procedural complications or recurrent bleeding episodes occurred throughout the six-month follow-up period.
