Abstract
Interventional radiologic techniques have become a mainstay in the management of trauma ranging from hemorrhage control (i.e., endovascular balloon occlusion, stenting, and embolization) to the management of complications (i.e., drainage of abscesses and placement of inferior vena caval filters). This chapter will provide a broad overview of the diagnostic assessment, equipment, techniques, and their specific applications in the care of the injured patient as it relates to solid organ injury, pelvic bleeding, and resuscitation assisted by aortic balloon occlusion. Endovascular techniques specifically applicable for great vessel injury will be covered elsewhere in this handbook.
