[Endovascular embolisation of severe bleeding in connection with periacetabular osteotomy].
Embolisation is a well-known procedure for trauma patients with pelvic injuries and bleeding complications. We report a case in which haemostasis was successfully achieved by angiographic embolisation in a patient with bleeding complications due to periacetabular osteotomy. This case illustrates that the technique is an alternative to vascular surgery when bleeding complications occur during surgery.
