Successful Angioembolization of a Stable Grade 4 Liver Injury

Abstract

Traumatic liver injury can be classified by grading using American Association with Surgery Trauma (AAST). We presented a case of a 22-year-old female who had a motor vehicle accident and sustained a stable Grade 4 liver injury. An angioembolization was performed by the interventional radiologist team, which successfully occluded all the extravasation of the bleed. If the patient is hemodynamically stable in high grade or bleeding liver injury, a non-invasive technique such as angioembolization could be practiced at the bleeding site to minimize or stop the bleeding.
