    Abstract:
    Interventional radiology (catheter placement under radiologic guidance) is a safe and effective technique in the management of hemorrhage and infection after hepatic trauma. Twenty procedures in 17 patients were reviewed. All patients with hemorrhage, vascular lesions, and intra-abdominal fluid collections were successfully treated without mortality or substantial morbidity. These techniques are recommended in complicated liver trauma.
