Treatment of Recurrent Hemarthrosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Surgical Interventions

CONCLUSIONS: Interventional angiography was used to aid in the diagnosis of recurrent hemarthrosis, and therapeutic selective embolization provided satisfactory clinical results. Even if selective embolization fails, interventional angiography may be helpful for further surgical procedures because it reveals vascular blush of a bleeding site. Therefore, interventional angiography and selective embolization should be considered to be a useful treatment for recurrent hemarthrosis after TKA.PMID:34094005 | PMC:PMC8173232 | DOI:10.4055/cios20066
