Abstract
- Iliolumbar artery injury is a rare but well-known complication of abdominal trauma and is usually associated with pelvic bone fracture. If a pseudoaneurysm develops and ruptures, it is a serious condition due to the enduing massive intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal bleeding. Superselective embolization has become the most effective treatment for pelvic hemorrhage caused by iliolumbar artery injury in which early detection and treatment are very important. We report a case of successful transarterial embolization of a pseudoaneurysm following blunt trauma in 32-year-old female.
