Traumatic hemothorax treated with transcatheter arterial embolization
2014
: A 33-year-old man was transported to our hospital following a traffic accident. He was found to have hemopneumothorax, multiple rib fractures and lung injury by computed tomography(CT). Despite thoracic drainage and fluid resuscitation, he became hemodynamically unstable. At 2 hours after arrival, CT revealed worsening in hemothorax. Emergency angiography of intercostal arteries showed signs of hemorrhage from intercostal arteries, and embolization of the 3∼6th intercostal arteries was performed. After transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE), his vital signs got stable and he was discharged without significant complication.
