Selective hepatic artery embolization as an adjunct to liver packing in severe hepatic trauma: case report

B L Fandrich et al. J Trauma. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

Two cases of severe hepatic injury in which bleeding continued despite liver packing are presented. Superselective hepatic artery embolization was used to control the remaining hemorrhage. Embolization is a useful adjunct to liver packing that will decrease mortality in severe hepatic trauma.
