Abstrakt: Objective: To investigate the results of therapeutic and prophylactic endovascular hemostasis of spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues of abdominal, chest wall and retroperitoneal space in patients with COVID-19.
Material and Methods: We retrospectively studied 35 patients with COVID-19 complicated by spontaneous bleeding into soft tissues of abdominal, chest wall and retroperitoneal space. According to CT data, the volume of hematoma was 1193.4±706.1 ml. In all patients, CT signs of ongoing bleeding were detected. Moreover, contrast agent extravasation in all phases of examination was established in 15 patients. In other ones, extravasation was detected in late phases or study phase was not identified. All patients underwent angiography. Ongoing bleeding was detected in 12 (34.3%) patients (group 1). They underwent embolization of the target vessel. In 23 patients, bleeding was not established during angiography. Of these, 13 ones underwent prophylactic embolization (group 2). No embolization was carried out in 10 patients (group 3). All groups differed in hematoma localization and COVID-19 severity.
Results: Fourteen (40%) patients died in postoperative period. Mortality was similar in all groups. The most common cause of death was progressive respiratory failure following pneumonia. The last one was established by autopsy in 10 (71.4%) patients.
Conclusion: Angiography confirmed MR signs of contrast agent extravasation in 34.3% of patients. In case of extravasation in all CT phases, ongoing bleeding was confirmed in 66.7% of patients. Endovascular embolization is effective for arterial bleeding into soft tissues. However, large-scale studies are needed to assess the effect of this technique on survival.
