INTRODUCTION: @entity548 is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of blunt @entity1661 . It can induce active @entity548 and a compressive @entity1410 leading to @entity63 . @entity341 remains the gold standard treatment. We aimed to study the effectiveness and complications of @entity887 in @entity1 with post-traumatic @entity548 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The medical records of 7 consecutive @entity1 with active @entity548 treated by @entity887 in a level-one @entity130 center from 2007 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All @entity1 presented with active @entity548 on CT scans without major signs of @entity63 . We focused on technical success, clinical success, and the complications of @entity887 . RESULTS: Six endovascular procedures were successful in controlling @entity548 but 1 @entity1 had surgery to stop associated arterial and @entity548 . One @entity1 suffered from @entity63 , a major @entity887 , which was confirmed by surgery. No @entity810 was noted after angiography. For 1 @entity1 we performed combined management as the endovascular approach allowed an easier surgical exploration. CONCLUSION: In mesenteric @entity130 with active @entity548 , @entity887 is a valuable alternative to surgery and should be considered, taking into account the risk of @entity63 .
