abstract={Assessment of patient¡¯s health status and hematological parameters usually precedes any invasive diagnostic or therapeutic procedures; Angiography can be effective and safe as an alternative for major surgical procedures, or as a bridging management in such cases. We present a critically ill patient with colon cancer, with massive bleeding and consumptive thrombocytopenia that underwent splenic artery embolization as a bridging therapy before definite therapeutic surgery.},
