Major gastrointestinal complications are ulceration, perforation, hemorrhage, and obstruction. Case Report: We report on a clinical case of a 16-year-old female patient with massive hematemesis, who was uccessfully treated with embolization with a 1:2 dilution of N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest child reported on with massive GI bleeding secondary to PAN, treated with successful percutaneous transcatheter embolization under emergency conditions.
