Bleeding is the most common emergency treated by an IR. Haemorrhage can come from almost anywhere, including from the gut, secondary to major injury or following birth. Bleeding can often permanently be stopped by blocking the vessel (embolisation), relining the vessel with a stent graft or by blowing up a balloon in the vessel to stop the bleeding until emergency surgery can be performed. Interventional radiology is also used to prevent bleeding during certain sorts of surgery, eg during caesarean section in patients with a high risk of bleeding from an abnormal placenta (post partum haemorrhage).
