Uncontrolled Haemorrhage (Interventional Radiology)
Some patients benefit from control of bleeding using embolization techniques, which is a procedure performed by an Interventional Radiologist.
Patients should be treated in their receiving hospital to the maximum of that hospital’s capability, where at all possible. When all local treatment options have been exhausted, the patient should be discussed with one of the Arterial Centres (BRI) with a view to transfer for ongoing management by IR techniques.

Emergency Transfer
Urgent Vascular Clinic
Access is very limited to this clinic. It is envisioned by WYVas that access to UVAC for ED patients will be arranged through direct (telephone) referral to either:
- IN hours: Local (HRI) or ON-Call (BRI)Vascular Consultant
- OUT of hours: ON-Call (BRI) Vascular Consultant
Nose bleeds are a bloody common problem (bad pun intended) – most originating at the front to the nose where there is a cluster of blood vessels – Little’s Area.
