Abstract:
Pelvic fractures are high energy injuries involving severe trauma and potential intra pelvic bleeding. Immediate control of hemorrhage, fixation of pelvic fractures and inter department cooperation are important for their treatment. Transcatheter angiographic embolization can be used to identify bleeding sites, control hemorrhage and improve mortality and complications, and it has been proved to be a valuable technique in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic vascular injuries. Still there is a considerable controversy on the fracture patterns, the sequence and the timing of emergency angiography and possible embolization in these patients. In this paper, we reviewed the role of angiographic embolization and we thought more attention should be paid on angiographic embolization in the control of hemorrhage.
