钕钇铝石榴石激光治疗放射性结肠炎所致的胃肠道出血。

Am J Gastroenterol. 1985 Sep;80(9):730-1.

Significant uncontrollable gastrointestinal bleeding due to radiation colitis has in the past required colectomy, proctectomy, arterial ligation, or angiographic embolization for control. The use of Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation of mucosal vascular ectasias provides a promising safe alternative to such invasive therapies.

过去，因放射性结肠炎导致的严重难以控制的胃肠道出血需要进行结肠切除术、直肠切除术、动脉结扎或血管造影栓塞术来控制出血。使用钕钇铝石榴石激光光凝治疗黏膜血管扩张为这种侵入性治疗提供了一种有前景的安全替代方法。
