  • Title: The role of interventional radiology in the management of genitourinary trauma.
    Author: Kantor A, Sclafani SJ, Scalea T, Duncan AO, Atweh N, Glanz S.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1989 May; 16(2):255-65. PubMed ID: 2652854.
    Abstract:
    The role of the radiologist in the management of urologic disease has changed dramatically in the last 10 years with the introduction of new imaging methods and the evolution of the angiographic catheter into a therapeutic instrument. The authors review the diagnostic options in genitourinary trauma, the indications for and techniques of transcatheter arterial embolization for renal and other retroperitoneal hemorrhage, and nonvascular interventions such as antegrade nephrostomy, stenting of urethral disruptions, percutaneous bladder drainage, and drainage of abscesses, hematomas, and urinomas.
