PURPOSE: To demonstrate the possibility of transarterial, superselective embolization after traumatic @entity8 and @entity548 in @entity1 usually treated by surgery. METHODS: In a series of 16 @entity1 aged 21 to 86 years (mean 37 years) external @entity130 led to @entity8 and consecutive @entity548 . After diagnostic angiography (5 F) the exact site of @entity548 was detected and treated by superselective embolization via a coaxial catheter system (2.7 F) either by coils (n = 5) or liquid agents (ethibloc, n = 11). RESULTS: In all @entity1 @entity548 was stopped interventionally. Additional surgical treatment was not necessary in any case. In one older @entity1 with preinterventionally known reduced kidney function, the excretion function decreased to @entity1011 levels of about 3.6 mg/dl after therapy and led to compensated @entity1887 . Other complications were not observed. CONCLUSION: Interventional embolization is a well-tolerated and effective treatment modality after @entity548 . After exclusion of other injuries obligate for surgery, percutaneous transarterial therapy may help to avoid an operation. This reduces the risk of @entity7908 and treatment especially in multimorbid @entity1 .
