Abstract

Summary


Objective: To evaluate the short term results of emergent pelvic arterial embolisation in patients with pelvic fractures. Subject and method: 14 patients suffered from bleeding pelvic fractures were pelvic arterial embolized at Vietduc Hospital. Descriptive retrospective research. Result: The mean age was 30 ± 17 years old, the traffic accident rate was 71.4%. The mean blood transfusion before angiography was 1303 ± 905ml, 92.9% patients had active bleeding in angiography. The mean length of hospitalization was 17 ± 8 days, the mortality was 7.1%. Conclusion: Emergency interventional angiography for patients with bleeding pelvic fractures has a low rate of complications and mortality. It may be considered a safe, effective and less invasive therapeutic option.
