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