Abstract
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous treatment of secondary thoracic and abdominal retention formations after blunt or penetrating trauma now represents a standard interventional radiological procedure. Various supportive imaging procedures are available, whereby computed tomography is mostly the treatment of choice due to the high diagnostic sensitivity. OBJECTIVE: Based on clinical examples this review article gives an overview of the state of the art minimally invasive interventional treatment of secondary posttraumatic retention formations of the thorax and abdomen. The indications and contraindications are illustrated and typical techniques and access routes are described. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Besides the general introduction and technical part, the article is divided into the anatomical compartments thorax and abdomen and frequently asked questions are dealt with. CONCLUSION: After the study of this article you should have got to know and understand the indications for a minimally invasive approach, the possible techniques and necessary materials as well as the indications and contraindications.
