Abstract
We herein report a case of acute, massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding caused by Yakes type IIb inferior mesenteric arteriovenous malformation, which was successfully treated with endovascular embolization. The Yakes arteriovenous malformation classification provides curative treatment strategies based on specific angioarchitecture, thus serving as a valuable guide during treatment planning. We reviewed reported cases from 1988 to 2022 and conducted an angioarchitecture analysis based on the Yakes classification. We analyzed these reported cases to estimate the treatment success rates of surgery and embolization.
