High Incidence of Ischemic Necrosis of the Gluteal Muscle after Transcatheter Angiographic Embolization for Severe Pelvic Fracture

Background:After transcatheter angiographic embolization (TAE), massive gluteal muscle necrosis was found in patients during open reduction and internal fixation for pelvic fracture.Methods:In our six patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans obtained 1 and 4 weeks after TAE demonstrated isch
