Abstract
Interventional radiology for the treatment of traumatic visceral hemorrhage has emerged as an important adjunct to modern trauma care. This article outlines the general surgical concepts of the acute care of trauma patients as a guideline for catheter-based therapy. Specific considerations are presented for embolizing visceral injuries in the liver, spleen, and kidney. Expected outcomes and follow-up are reviewed.Entities:
