Background: Traumatic pelvic injuries are associated with high injury severity scores and significant morbidity and mortality. Active bleeding is the most common cause of death among those patients. Due to limitations of surgery for pelvic hematomas, angiographic treatment is at the forefront of pelvic trauma management.
Objective: The present article aims to discuss the available endovascular treatment modalities, and common angiographic treatment strategies and techniques.
Conclusion: Interventional radiologists plays a key role in the management of patients with pelvic trauma. New standardized protocols are needed to minimize the time spent on deciding the correct treatment for each patient.
