Analysis of Diagnostic Angiography and Angioembolization in the Acute Management of Renal Trauma Using a National Data Set

Abstract

Successive therapy is common after initial management of renal injury by angioembolization. Close observation is highly recommended after initial angioembolization for grade IV-V renal injuries. National agreement on the use of diagnostic angiography and angioembolization is needed since these procedures may be overused after grade I-III renal injuries.
