PY - 2023 T2 - Vascular Injury: Endovascular and Open Surgical Management AB - The incidence of solid organ injury after trauma varies significantly in the literature, depending on the mechanism and the solid organ of interest. The liver remains one of the most commonly injured organs after blunt abdominal trauma, followed closely by the spleen.1,2 Over time, management of solid organ injury has shifted from operative to nonoperative management (NOM) in select cases, leading to decreased morbidity and high rates of success. Angioembolization (AE) techniques were introduced with the aim of preventing ongoing hemorrhage requiring surgery and are often used to supplant NOM. However, the key to success in each case is appropriate patient selection. SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accesssurgery.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1200600419 ER -
