Transarterial Embolization for Intractable Oronasal Hemorrhage Associated With Craniofacial Trauma: Evaluation of Prognostic Factors

Abstract

TAE may stop intractable posttraumatic oronasal hemorrhage when conventional packing fails to achieve hemostasis. Glasgow Coma Scale score at presentation, shock index before and after TAE, injury severity score, and need for emergent laparotomy can be used to predict the patient prognosis.
