May enable selective hemorrhage control; leaves open safety and efficacy in prospective studies.
The authors describe the use of Silastic tubing injected through conventional selective catheters by means of hydraulic propulsion. Such a technique extends the range of selective diagnostic catheterization and produces reversible, selective transluminal arterial occlusion for control of hemorrhage and for other purposes.
