Visceral Arteriography in Trauma

ABSTRACT

The nonoperative management including endovascular treatment of traumatic injuries to most abdominal solid viscera is increasingly gaining acceptance as treatment of choice in a select group of patients. The indications, techniques, and principles of endovascular management of hepatic, splenic, and renal injuries are discussed in this review.

KEYWORDS
