Life-threatening hemorrhage from the corona mortis treated with balloon-assisted coiling technique.
American Journal of Emergency Medicine 2018 March
Isolated pubic ramus fractures are common and generally uncomplicated injuries in the elderly. However, pubic ramus fractures are closely related to important vascular structures. The corona mortis, located in the retropubis, has an important anastomotic value, as it serves as a communication between the internal and external iliac vessels. The following case report describes an 88-year-old male who was diagnosed with a right superior pubic ramus fracture, which led to a severe picture of hemodynamic instability. Emergent angiography demonstrated injury of the corona mortis. After super-selective embolization of the corona mortis artery with a balloon-assisted coiling technique, the patient progressed satisfactorily and was discharged after 7days.
