Angioembolization requires the presence of a special interventional radiology team and a reasonably stable patient. Until we have better research to learn from, I suggest the following: Time is of the essence. Angioembolization has been a mainstay in the US for some time, and PPP has been more commonly used in Europe.

2 In response to the constrained availability of contrast media, emergency medicine (EM) and radiology departments were compelled to enact modifications in their imaging techniques. In most cases, the radiology team functioned as the main decision-maker playing a key role in drafting institutional protocols. 11 Table 1.
