Intraoperative Angioembolization in the Management of Pelvic Fracture-Related Hemodynamic Instability

Completed

Conditions studied: Pelvic Fractures and Associated Hemodynamic Instability

In brief

Mortality associated with pelvic fractures resulting from blunt trauma ranges between 6 and 18%. In cases where hemodynamic instability is also present, the mortality rate is significantly greater, and has been reported as high as 60%. There is no general consensus among traumatologists as to the initial management of this complicated subgroup of patients. It is largely debated whether emergent orthopedic fixation or angiographic embolization should be the first line of treatment for pelvic hemorrhage
