mal structures. Consequently, blood will preferentially pass through this path of least resistance rather than go through the capillary bed of adjacent tissues. The size of vascular malformations tends to increase with time. Pelvic vascular malformations may cause a palpable mass, pain, bleeding, leg swelling, and, rarely, high output cardiac failure. The two types of vascular malformations are arte­rial venous malformations (AVM) and arteriovenous fis­tulas (AVF).
Arterial venous malformations are congenital. They re­sult from incomplete differentiation of embryonic vascu­lar tissue into arteries, capillaries, and veins. An arterio­gram of a pelvic AVM usually shows a mass of innumerable vascular communications perfused by dilated arteries and drained by dilated early filling veins. Asymptomatic arte­rial venous malformations should be left alone. Complete obliteration of a pelvic AVM by embolization or surgical resection or both is successful about one third of the
40
time.
In most cases after therapy, parts of the arterial venous malformation that have not been occluded or re­sected enlarge, causing reappearance of the mass. An ar­terial venous malformation is not a tumor. Its cells do not multiply or metastasize, but small, residual parts of the malformation can dilate enormously, leading to clinical relapse.
40,41
To date, no consistently successful therapy for this condition has been established (Fig. 25-5). One re­port describes successful embolization of 14 of 17 uterine
arterial venous malformations, with five subsequent preg­nancies.
42
It seems that many of these cases were postsur­gical arteriovenous fistulas and were not arterial venous malformations.
Arteriovenous fistula
A pelvic arteriovenous fistula is an acquired communica­tion between a previously normal artery and vein (Fig. 25-6). Most are caused by penetrating trauma. Less com­monly, an arteriovenous fistula can be caused by blunt trauma and, rarely, by rupture of an arterial aneurysm into a vein. easier to treat than is an AVM, because it consists of only a single arterial to venous connection. Occluding it cures the condition. Ideally, the AVF tract should be occluded by spring coils. Alternatively, the AVF can be treated by placing the coils in the feeding artery immediately proxi­mal and distal to the AVF. This coil “sandwich” will pre­vent antegrade and retrograde filling of the AVF. The sandwich method, of course, will sacrifice at least a short segment of the feeding artery. Traumatic AVFs are often associated with a pseudoaneurysm at the fistula site.) If so, both the pseudoaneurysm and the feeding artery should be embolized with coils. Particulate agents such as Gelfoam or polyvinyl alcohol would be likely to pass through the fistula to become pulmonary emboli. Essen-

Also note the dilatation of the affected vessels caused by the long-standing fistula.
tial vessels such as the common and external iliac femo­ral, or subclavian arteries must remain patent while the internal iliac arteries and other branch vessels can usually be sacrificed. When major vessel patency is required open surgical repair or endovascular graft placement should be used.
■ Angiographic Technique for Diagnosis
and Treatment of Pelvic Hemorrhage
Optimally, arterial catheterization should be performed from a femoral approach because it is usually easier and safer than an axillary arter y puncture. If possible, the puncture should be made on the side of the patient opposite the suspected site of bleeding because it is easier to catheterize the internal iliac artery selectively on the side opposite the puncture site than to catheterize it on the same side. For example, if a trauma patient has left­sided pelvic fractures, angiography should be done from a right femoral artery approach. In several situations pel­vic angiography for hemorrhage should be performed from a left axillary approach. The trauma patient may
have bilateral acetabular or pubic ramus fractures with extensive adjacent soft tissue hematomas obscuring the pulse and making manipulation painful. The patient may be in shock with inflated MAST pants (military antishock trousers) covering the femoral arteries. Alternatively, the patient may be a high-risk pregnancy patient in the an­giography suite for prophylactic angiographic catheter placement before cesarean delivery. Radiation to the fe­tus must be minimized.
Intraarterial digital angiography can be done in less than half the time needed for cut-film angiography. Many pelvic hemorrhage patients are unable to cooper­ate fully. Consequently, it is necessary to study these pa­tients by using unsubtracted digital angiography to avoid the motion artifacts that may occur using subtracted digi­tal arteriography. With unsubtracted digital arteriogra­phy, the higher doses of contrast used for cut-film studies are necessary for good vessel opacification.
A nonselective pelvic flush study is done first using a 5 Fr pigtail catheter. The catheter tip is placed above the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery.

middle and inferior hemorrhoidal arteries, which origi­nate from the obturator or internal pudendal branches of the internal iliac artery to form a collateral pathway so that bleeding from branches of the internal iliac ar­tery may sometimes be demonstrated by inferior mesen­teric artery injection and vice versa.
Next the pigtail catheter is exchanged for a cobra 2 catheter. If a bleeding site was demonstrated on the pel­vic flush study, the bleeding vessel is selectively catheter­ized and embolized (Fig. 25-7). If no bleeding site was demonstrated on the pelvic flush study, selective right and left internal iliac artery injections are performed. First, the contralateral internal iliac artery is catheter­ized. Then the ipsilateral internal iliac artery is cathe­terized using the Waltman loop or other techniques (Fig. 25-8). If difficulty is experienced crossing the aortic bi­furcation, the cobra 2 catheter should be exchanged for a hooked-shaped catheter such as a Rösch inferior mes­enteric artery catheter or a SOS omni selective catheter or a Simmons catheter, which will allow easy placement of a guidewire across the aortic bifurcation. Once the guidewire tip is well seated within the contralateral iliac artery, the hooked-shaped catheter can be removed over the guidewire and then replaced by the cobra 2 catheter (Fig. 25-9A). If attempts to catheterize the ipsilateral in­ternal iliac artery are unsuccessful using a cobra 2 cathe-
ter and the Waltman loop technique, a hooked-shaped catheter can be used instead (see Fig. 25-9B). In the internal iliac artery, 12 mm of contrast should be in­jected over 2 sec with filming obtained for 20 sec to identify extravasated contrast after intravascular contrast has cleared. The catheter tip must be in the proximal internal iliac artery to opacify the lateral sacral and the iliolumbar branches.
If a bleeding site or sites have been identified, tran­scatheter embolization is performed (Fig. 25-10). In most situations in which pelvic embolization is required, Gel­foam cubes are the agent of choice. Because this agent dissolves in several weeks, it is excellent for use in the treatment of traumatic and obstetric bleeding. Scatter embolization is the fastest way to stop the bleeding. The Gelfoam block should be cut into parallel strips 1 to 2 mm thick, leaving the bases of the strips attached like matches in a book. The block should then be turned 90⬚ and a series of cuts made across the strips. This will produce 1 to 2 mm Gelfoam cubes. (This is more efficient than cutting each strip separately.) Several dozen cubes should be backloaded into a 10-mL syringe while the plunger is removed and then filled with contrast. The Gelfoam should be injected into the internal iliac artery under fluoroscopic guidance until flow is very slow, and embolization should be stopped before Gelfoam refluxes

into the external iliac artery. After embolization is com­plete, pelvic flush arteriography should be performed to document that there is no further bleeding (Fig. 25-11).
If the patient is sufficiently stable, subselective emboli­zation of the bleeding branch vessel or vessels can be performed instead of scatter embolization. If scatter em­bolization must be performed from the internal iliac artery trunk because expediant subselective catherization of the bleeding branch vessels is not possible, then pro­tective spring coils can be placed into the origins of the superior and inferior gluteal arteries before scatter em­bolization. The coils will prevent Gelfoam from entering these internal iliac artery branches and will decrease the small risk of buttock ischemia and sciatic nerve injury. At this institution, “coil blockade” is not done frequently because patients who need scatter embolization are fre­quently unstable and placing the coils postpones the time when hemorrhage can be stopped. Most organs suffer irreversible injury within hours of acute arterial occlu­sion. Gelfoam’s safety stems from its size, which is small enough to stop bleeding by causing occlusion distal to the larger collateral vessels and yet large enough to stop proximal to the precapillary network of collateral vessels, not from the fact that it dissolves in a few weeks. The bleeding site is therefore not deprived of all perfusion.
Other embolic agents
Gelfoam cubes are excellent for treating causes of bleed­ing that are temporary, such as traumatic or obstetric
hemorrhage. Pelvic malignancies will persist and regen­erate despite embolization, which is why a permanent agent such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is more appropri­ate. Although the chemical formula of PVA is that of an alcohol, it is an inert solid. PVA is supplied by the manu­facturer in several particle sizes. The term absolute alcohol refers to a solution of 99% ethyl alcohol. There is no role for absolute alcohol in pelvic embolization. It causes scle­rosis of all arteries with which it comes in contact down to the capillary level, resulting in infarction of all tissues in the distribution of those vessels. Gelfoam powder can be purchased or made from a block of Gelfoam. Because of its small diameter, particles of Gelfoam powder oc­clude at the capillary level and is therefore likely to cause infarction. Like absolute alcohol, Gelfoam powder never should be used for treatment of pelvic hemorrhage. Spring embolus coils are rarely used alone for treatment of pelvic bleeding. They usually occlude too proximally to stop bleeding from small collateral vessels. Coils are per­manent. Therefore, it is not possible to recatheterize vessels in which they have been placed. They also create artifacts on magnetic resonance studies. Occasionally, a large proximal branch of the internal iliac artery is lacer­ated. Gelfoam cubes may be swept through the laceration into the extravascular space
46
and consequently have no effect on the bleeding. In these situations, spring embo­lus coils should be used. Optimally, coils are placed both distal and proximal to the bleeding site if the vessel has not been completely transsected. Distal embolization will prevent retrograde bleeding from collaterals beyond the

site of laceration. On rare occasions, angiography will demonstrate bleeding from a large vessel that will require surgical repair, such as from the common or external iliac artery. Bleeding of large vessels can be slowed by inflation of an occlusion balloon catheter proximal to or at the bleeding site.
Complications
Potential complications of pelvic embolization include leg ischemia caused by reflux of embolic material into the external iliac artery, gluteal muscle ischemia and infarc-
tion, sciatic nerve injury, bladder necrosis, and impotence in males. These complications are uncommon. Their pre­cise incidence in trauma patients is difficult to determine, because pelvic trauma can cause the same injuries. The rare cases when bladder infarction has occurred after em­bolization of pelvic malignancies were usually in patients whose tumors had been embolized using Gelfoam pow­der as the embolic agent.

Pudendal Arteriography
SAMUEL I. WAHL, MICHAEL B. RUBIN, AND CURTIS W. BAKAL
Neurologic activity through the internal pudendal sen­sory nerves and the parasympathetic cavernosal motor nerves is responsible for developing and maintaining an erection. Arterial dilatation and a rapid increase in blood flow to the penis result from relaxation of the smooth muscles in the wall of the cavernosal arteries in response to parasympathetic stimulation. As distention increases, the small veins that drain the corpora are compressed against the tunica albuginea, preventing outflow of blood and maintaining penile erection. ability to achieve and maintain an erection. In the patient with normal neurologic function and normal endocrine balance, impotence may be due to venous incompetence or arterial insufficiency. Duplex sonography and pulse­waved Doppler analysis have been widely used to evaluate penile arterial anatomy; pudendal arteriography remains the “gold standard” for penile arterial evaluation. riography has identified diffuse bilateral disease of the internal pudendal, common penile, and cavernosal arter­ies in impotent patients with atherosclerosis. Focal stenosis or occlusion involving the common penile or cavernosal artery is seen most often in young men who have a histor y of blunt perineal or pelvic trauma.
Pudendal arteriography also can be useful in the eval­uation and treatment of both low-flow (ischemic) and high-flow (nonischemic) priapism, a condition of persist­ent erection of the penis, often accompanied by pain and tenderness.
Traditionally, priapism has been classified as being either idiopathic or secondary. Hemodynamically and angiographically, it can be separated into two distinct types: more common low-flow (ischemic) priapism secon­dary to venous occlusion and less common high-flow

flow.
The exact pathophysiology of high-flow priapism is unknown, but it is associated almost exclusively with di­rect penile trauma.
■ Duplex Ultrasonography
Duplex ultrasonography is currently used as a screening modality to assess both function and anatomy. frequency linear transducer (7–10 MHz) is used to exam­ine the penis in transverse axis both in a flaccid state and after intracavernosal injection of a vasoactive agent or prostaglandin E. Some authors advocate using the change in the cavernosal arterial diameter before and after injec­tion as an indicator of arterial insufficiency. authors agree that the most sensitive parameter for iden­tifying a patient with arterial insufficiency is the mean peak systolic velocity. ity ranges from 35 to 60 cm per second. Peak systolic velocities of 25 to 35 cm per second indicate moderate arterial sufficiency, and velocities less than 25 cm per sec­ond correspond to severe arterial insufficiency, usually requiring surgical revascularization or prosthetic implan-
