In complex cases of suspected haemorrhage, CBCT images can aid the interventionalist in detecting bleeding sites as well as narrowing down the number of involved vascular territories and thereby identifying feeding arteries of the bleeding source. Advances in knowledge: (1) CBCT showed no improvement in image quality. However, in complex bleeding cases CBCT information might aid in treatment planning. (2) CBCT improves visualization of bleeding vessels and involved feeding arteries. (3) Particularly, less experienced interventionalists might benefit from the three-dimensional information gathered by CBCT.
