Abstract |
We report the case of a 56-year-old man who in a motor vehicle collision developed a pelvic fracture and complete urethra rupture. Sudden onset of intermittent severe urethral bleeding occurred and it led to life-threatening blood pressure drop and dyspnea. An angiography of internal iliac artery showed a pseudoaneurysm involving the right obturator artery. Super-selective embolization of the feeding vessel was performed with cessation of the blood flow immediately.
