  • Title: Superselective transcatheter embolization of traumatic renal hemorrhage.
    Author: Richman SD, Green WM, Kroll R, Casarella WJ.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1977 May; 128(5):843-6. PubMed ID: 404914.
    Abstract:
    Selective angiography is an established diagnostic modality in acute renal trauma [1-3]. Renal hemorrhage, once demonstrated by angiography, can then be treated by arterial embolization [4-5]. This paper describes the successful transcatheter management of a renal laceration in a patient with multiple injuries secondary to an abdominal gunshot wound. Adominal exploration had established that the renal hemorrhage could not be surgically controlled without performing a nephrectomy.
