Selective arterial embolisation effectively treats major hepatic trauma by stopping arterial bleeding and arteriovenous shunting. This minimally invasive technique shows promise in reducing mortality rates for severe liver injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Major hepatic trauma presents significant challenges in hemorrhage control.
  • Emergency laparotomy may not always suffice for persistent intrahepatic bleeding.
  • Arteriovenous shunting can complicate the management of liver injuries.

Observation:

  • Selective arterial embolisation was employed in four patients with major hepatic trauma.
  • Three patients experienced continued bleeding post-emergency laparotomy.
  • The technique was successfully applied to control localized hemorrhage.

Findings:

  • Selective arterial embolisation successfully abolished intrahepatic arterial hemorrhage.
  • The procedure effectively addressed arteriovenous shunting in the liver.

  • Successful embolisation was achieved in all four treated patients.

    • Implications:

    • Selective arterial embolisation offers a minimally invasive option for managing hepatic trauma.
    • This technique can be crucial for patients with refractory bleeding after laparotomy.
    • It holds potential for improving outcomes and reducing mortality in severe liver injuries.
