  • Nonoperative management is successful in >90% of pts who are hemodynamically stable
  • Low-grade injuries (grades I–III) can almost always be managed without surgery
    • Higher-grade injuries commonly fail nonoperative therapy.
  • Consider angiographic embolization if:
    • Large amount of hemoperitoneum
    • Vascular injury (contrast blush) on CT
