Implication

Retrospective cohort study reveals favorable intermediate safety for percutaneous embolization in severe blunt renal trauma, suggesting durable efficacy without major late complications.

Key Points

To evaluate intermediate-term clinical outcomes and complications in patients treated with percutaneous embolization for grade 5 blunt renal trauma.
Retrospective observational cohort study of hemodynamically unstable patients who underwent percutaneous embolization between October 2004 and July 2008 (N=10).
Intermediate-term follow-up was obtained through mail and telephone questionnaires over a mean duration of 2.7 years (range: 1.5–5.1 years).
One patient (10%) developed newly diagnosed hypertension, which remained well controlled with a single antihypertensive agent.
Zero patients experienced refractory hypertension, altered renal function, urolithiasis, chronic pain, urine leak, arteriovenous fistula, or pseudoaneurysm, and none required secondary interventions.
