Trans Arterial Embolization of Spontaneous Abdominal Muscle Bleeding by Pierpaolo Biondetti, gaetano valerio davide amato, Carolina Lanza, Serena Carriero, Velio Ascenti, Chiara Grilli, Edon Xhepa, Salvatore Alessio Angileri, Anna Maria Ierardi, Gianpaolo Carrafiello

“…Conservative management of coagulopathy is standard care for stable patients while embolization and surgical options are reserved for those with hemodynamic instability or significant bleeding. Current literature provides incongruous results on outcomes, while some authors consider embolization only after conservative treatment failure, other authors advocate for a more aggressive approach in patients who are at high risk of developing a poor outcome. …”
