Overview

Surgery

  • Surgical oversewing of the tear is reserved for those who fail angiographic therapy.
  • Surgery is an alternative if:
    • an interventional radiologist with expertise in transarterial embolization is not available
    • The lesion is deemed unlikely to respond to angiographic therapy
    • The patient has underlying conditions that may complicate the ability to perform angiography or transarterial embolization (eg, renal insufficiency).
