AbstractWe report a case of traumatic arterial hemorrhage from the posterior urethral artery, refractory to traditional hemostatic technique, and successfully managed with intraurethral thrombin hemostatic matrix (FloSeal [Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, Illinois, US]). We believe that this demonstrates a safe, effective therapy for urethral hemorrhage that may be accomplished by Emergency Physicians and may preclude the need for more invasive hemorrhage control strategies.Copyright © 2016 American College of Emergency Physicians.
