In every patient with gluteal necrosis associated with pelvic fracture following TAE, initial traumatic contusion cannot be ruled out as contributing to the development of the necrosis. However, for patients who undergo TAE of the bilateral internal iliac artery and who show clear-border LDAs on CT, skin necrosis centered on the buttock, and the delayed appearance of a skin lesion, careful attention must be given in the event of an arterial obstruction due to TAE.

This classification system for pancreatic ductal injuries may facilitate the selection of appropriate therapeutic modalities for patients with blunt pancreatic injury.

The iliac vein injury is the principal cause of hemorrhagic shock in some patients with unstable pelvic fractures after blunt trauma. Venography is useful for identifying iliac vein injuries.
