This article describes the case of a 45-year-old female patient who had been treated with radiotherapy for vaginal cancer and who developed actinic cystitis with frequent episodes of severe hematuria, requiring repeated blood transfusions. The patient was treated with selective embolization of the vesical arteries. The procedure was successful, and the patient has been in follow-up for six months without other hematuria episodes, nor needing further blood transfusions or hospital admissions. A review of technical aspects regarding bladder embolization and possible complications related to this procedure is also provided.
