    AbstractJunctional hemorrhage remains a difficult source of bleeding to control with the groin being the most common location. FemoStop devices are a well established tool for achieving hemostasis in post cardiac catheterization femoral access site hemorrhage. Massive hemorrhage is a traumatic presentation well known to emergency physicians and trauma surgeons alike. We describe a case of traumatic proximal femoral artery injury with expanding hematoma and hemorrhage control with a FemoStop device applied in the emergency department.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
