Outcome of angioembolization for blunt renal trauma in haemodynamically unstable patients: 10‐year analysis of Queensland public hospitals

Abstract

Selective angioembolization, where feasible, is an alternative method in the management of haemodynamically stable patients with blunt renal trauma maximizing nephron sparing and producing acceptable long-term outcomes with avoidance of the morbidity of trauma nephrectomy. This is the first study that we know of in Australia analysing the outcome of angioembolization for blunt renal trauma.
