Angioembolization as a life-saving maneuver for unstable pelvic fractures in skeletally immature children: a multicenter case series

Abstract

IIAE is a feasible and effective life-saving intervention for HUPF in skeletally immature patients. A negative CECT scan does not rule out significant arterial injury, underscoring the vital role of prompt angiography. We recommend a low threshold for early intervention, with consideration of non-selective embolization as a primary damage control tactic in these critically injured children.
