AIM: To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of interventional digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for @entity548 small bowel @entity674 ( @entity674 ). METHODS: Between January 2006 and December 2013, small bowel @entity5 in 25 consecutive @entity1 undergoing emergency interventional DSA were histopathologically confirmed as GIST after surgical resection. The medical records of these @entity1 and the effects of interventional DSA and the presentation and management of the condition were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Of the 25 @entity1 with an age range from 34- to 70-year-old (mean: 54    12 years), 8 were male and 17 were female. Obscure @entity360 , including tarry or bloody stool and intermittent melena, was observed in all cases, and one case also involved hematemesis. Nineteen @entity1 required acute blood transfusion. There were a total of 28 small bowel @entity5 detected by DSA. Among these, 20 were located in the jejunum and 8 were located in the ileum. The DSA characteristics of the @entity674 included a hypervascular mass of well-defined, homogeneous enhancement and early developed draining veins. One case involved a complication of intussusception of the small intestine that was discovered during surgery. No @entity2849 , @entity2758 or fistulae, or @entity397 were observed. The completely excised size was approximately 1.20 to 5.50 cm (mean: 3.05    1.25 cm) in maximum diameter based on measurements after the resection. There were @entity1066 (n = 8), @entity2681 (n = 10), @entity450 and @entity4 (n = 10) on the intra-luminal side of the @entity5 . @entity5 in @entity1 with a large amount of @entity190 were treated with transcatheter @entity1416 with gelfoam particles during interventional DSA. CONCLUSION: Emergency interventional DSA is a useful imaging option for locating and diagnosing small bowel @entity674 in @entity1 with @entity548 , and is an effective treatment modality.
