AI Article Synopsis

  • - Hemorrhage from trauma to the upper abdomen and kidneys can be very serious and potentially life-threatening.
  • - Treatment can either be conservative (non-surgical) or surgical, depending on the severity of the situation.
  • - Endovascular treatment through angiography is an uncommon alternative used only in special cases to directly address active bleeding, possibly through embolization.

Article Abstract

Hemorrhage after trauma in the area of the upper abdominal organs and the kidneys can represent a life-threatening situation. The primary treatment options are conservative or surgical treatment. Only in exceptional cases can endovascular treatment with an angiographic depiction of the active bleeding and, if necessary, intervention by means of embolization be used as an alternative.
