Objectives  Peripheral artery embolizations are often required for therapeutic purposes. The therapeutic embolizations are usually performed using embolization particles and coils. These procedures are also associated with complications. Coils and their delivery cables, and the expertise are not always available in all catheterization centers. Hence, a novel, simple controlled technique for arterial closure would be useful in emergency settings.    Results  Following is a report of seven cases where embolization was performed successfully on an emergency basis after stenting using coronary stents for better closure of the target artery. Six patients underwent bronchial artery embolization for recurrent massive hemoptysis, and one another patient had pseudoaneurysm following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and presented with hematuria and persistent and increasing blood discharge in drainage catheter. The stents were deployed in the target artery using 6F Judkin’s diagnostic catheter over the 014 wires, which are easily available in all cardiac catheterization laboratories. This is a novel method to establish a metal platform inside the target arteries using coronary stents for better closure of the target arteries in combination with embolization techniques. The procedures were performed as lifesaving measures when small coils and the delivery cables were not available at the time of the procedures.
