This article addresses in detail the newer role for interventional angiography, including diagnosis and newer angioembolization techniques used to control bleeding and to deal with complications of vascular injuries

    The humbling reality however is that even with this aggressive approach there remains bleeding that defies open surgery control and for which endoluminal techniques are the only effective modality. Interventional radiology (IR) involves performing catheter-directed contrast imaging of the vessels, often followed by the endovascular embolisation of bleeding, or the deployment of endovascular stents and other endovascular hardware guided by fluoroscopic imaging [21,22]. This modality is now considered imperative in modern trauma care to save lives.

    A review of the vascular trauma literature, however, reveals several case series that suggest anatomic locations other than those detailed in the previously mentioned guidelines that may be amenable to endovascular therapy. For example, embolization of axillary artery branches, such as the humeral circumflex arteries, has been done safely and effectively [14,15]. Also in the upper extremity, brachial artery injuries have been successfully managed endovascularly; Lonn et al. [16] describe thrombectomy and angioplasty for thrombosis and intimal disruption and Maynar et al. [17] discuss stent-graft repair of a brachial artery transection.

    Filling defects may be sharp or ill-defined, suggesting dissection or thrombi, respectively. Luminal narrowing and dilatation are nonspecific signs of vascular injury.3,42 Classic zonal anatomy is an important consideration when therapeutic interventions are considered.

    In addition, angiographic embolization has been used for occlusion of injured arteries (Velmahos et al. 2000; Mohr et al. 2003). However, embolization can be applied only in selective cases of vascular injuries since it can lead to distal tissue ischemia (Scalea and Sclafani 2001). Overall, there is a need for development of a noninvasive treatment of peripheral vascular injuries, which may reduce the risks associated with surgery and improve patient care (Lasic et al. 2005), as well as provide a fast life-saving treatment in emergency and battlefield situations.
