Selective arterial embolization for hemorrhage following hip arthroplasty. Clinical orthopaedics and related research HALPERN, A. A., RINSKY, L. J., Burton, D. S. 1977: 144-148

Abstract

A case is presented in which selective embolization of gelfoam was used to control late postoperative bleeding, developing in a patient following hip arthroplasty. Although primarily used in gastrointestinal bleeding, diagnostic and therapeutic angiography, selective embolization is clearly applicable to postoperative bleeding encountered in orthopedics.
