Abstract

Use of therapeutic arterial embolization (TAE) in the traumatized patient can achieve rapid control of hemorrhage and obviate the need for immediate surgery on poor-risk patients or in high-risk areas of the body. The techniques of embolization, its risks, and complications are discussed in light of the authors' experience, and a review of recent literature is presented.
