چکیده

We report a renal transplant recipient infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis who presented with severe intestinal bleeding. The bleeding was the result of an injured vessel of mesenteric artery distal branches diagnosed by traditional arteriography and computed tomography angiography. As the patient's condition was serious, the only considered rescue therapy was endovascular treatment. The endovascular procedure was successful because the bleeding stopped. Embolization of a small intestinal artery may be a successful rescue treatment of intestinal bleeding in a patient after renal transplant.
