Objective To investigate the methods of diagnosis and treatment of acute lower gastrointestinal massive bleeding. Methods Retrospective analysis was made on diagnozing and treating of 21 patients with acute lower gastrointestinal massive bleeding Results Within a total of 21 cases,bleeding was controlled by conservative treatment in 6 cases(28.6%),supermesenteric angiography showe positive findings in 92.8% and the interventional therapy was applied successfully in 84.6%. no recurrence was observed after Ⅰ month to 4 year follow up. Conclusions Patients with acute lower gastrointestinal massive bleeding should be treated firstly by conservatie method,uncontrollable bleeding should be evaluated by selective supermesenteric angiography;after the bleeding artery was recongnized by angiography,the intervention embolotherapy should be taken;the patients whose angiography are negative and bleeding cannot be controlled should be operatded
