Management of spontaneous abdominal wall hematomas: a narrative review with a focus on CTA-negative endovascular cases
Endovascular embolization is an effective and safe treatment for spontaneous AWH. DSA remains essential for localization and embolization. In cases with negative CTA, catheterization of arteries anatomically supplying the hematoma is recommended for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Our stepwise, experience-based protocol for CTA-negative cases offers a practical roadmap for interventional radiologists performing embolization in both anterior and posterior AWH.
