title: Interventional radiology cases from the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow: transcatheter embolisation of post-traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm and arterioportal fistula.
abstract: Percutaneous transcatheter embolisation techniques are being increasingly used in the treatment of post-traumatic bleeding and arteriovenous fistula formation. We describe a case where the technique has been used successfully to treat a combined pseudoaneurysm and arterioportal fistula in the liver of a child following blunt trauma.
