Article Abstract
Objective: To study the effect and safety of transarterial embolization (TAE) in the management of massive hemorrhage in the nasopharyngeal and maxillofacial regions.
Methods: Forty-two cases of massive hemorrhage in the nasopharyngeal and maxillofacial regions were treated by TAE. Gelfoam particles, polyvinyl acohol particles, and metallic coil were used to for embolism of the external carotid artery, maxillary artery, facial artery, occipital artery, sphenopalatine artery and ascending pharyngeal artery respectively according to the angiographic findings and the region of hemorrhage sites.
Results: TAE was successfully performed in all the cases, and no recurrence or serious complications were observed in the 3 to 12-month follow-up.
Conclusion: TAE is safe and effective in the treatment of massive hemorrhage in the nasopharyngeal and maxillofacial regions.

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a noninvasive and relatively safe method for treating small urinary tract stones, however it may be accompanied with some important complications including hematoma. In this report, we review an instructive and rare case of a patient with massive renal hematoma following ESWL. Despite full conservative management, due to patient instability, emergent exploration and nephrectomy was inevitable.

Background: Massive hemorrhage is a leading cause of mortality among trauma patients. To date, whole blood (WB) remains the preferred resuscitation fluid on the battlefield and in pre-hospital emergency care. However, components of WB inevitably undergo storage-related damage, and differences in the duration of storage may lead to varying clinical outcomes after transfusion.

Pancreatogastric fistulas are rare but serious complications of chronic pancreatitis that can lead to life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding due to erosion of nearby blood vessels. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with chronic calcific pancreatitis and a history of alcohol misuse, who experienced recurrent hematemesis and melena over 2 months. Despite multiple endoscopies and transfusions, the bleeding source remained unidentified until imaging revealed a fistulous tract between the pancreas and the posterior gastric wall.
