Does selective transcatheter arterial embolization of the internal iliac artery cause gluteal necrosis in pelvic trauma patients?
Selective TAE of internal iliac branches including the gluteal arterial branches appears to be safe in patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures with and without orthopaedic surgical treatment. Nonselective TAE of the internal iliac artery may also be safe when performed unilaterally.
Intracoronary shunt prevents ischemia during grafting of the left anterior descending coronary artery and provides satisfactory immediate- and short-term graft patency.
