1.The study of the value of CT scanning in the diagnosis of closed injury of the kidney
Journal of Medical Research 2004;27(1):63-69
45 patients with closed injury of the kidney who underwent CT scanning and an internal therapy or an operation at Viet Duc Hospital were studied. Results showed the high values of the diagnosis of morphological injuries in casualty of kidney such as morphological change, contusion and parenchymal congestion, kidney rupture, retroperitoneal congestion, with absolute level of sensitivity and positive predictive value at high level. Moreover, CT scanning permitted the diagnosis of combining injuries of various organs in abdomen cavity and the evaluation of the function of injured kidney and healthy kidney through the contrast injection CT scanning could evaluate the kidney injury with 90.5% of accuracy. 3/3 cases of grade IV damage and 93.3% of grade III damage were detected. The damages of grade II and grade I detected in CT scanning were treated internal and got good clinical progress

The liver is commonly injured after blunt abdominal trauma. The choice of treatment for liver trauma depends not only on injury severity but also on the patient’s hemodynamic status. Most minor- and moderate-grade liver injuries in hemodynamically stable patients allow for conservative treatment or minimal intervention, while emergency laparotomy is indicated for patients with severe-grade liver trauma and hypotensive shock.We describe a 19-year-old male patient with traumatic shock due to grade IV liver injury and multiple fractures. An emergency laparotomy was performed, but the bleeding could not be controlled, and the patient remained hemodynamically unstable. Hyperacute transarterial embolization was successfully performed. In this case report, we emphasize the importance of transarterial embolization in cases of residual bleeding after initial damage-control surgery, even in hemodynamically unstable patients.
