Two cases of continuous bleeding after primary surgical treatment of severe hepatic injury are reported. Superselective hepatic artery embolization is an alternative procedure that can be very useful, as in one of our cases, to control bleeding and avoid reoperation. It should always be considered by trauma surgeons for the treatment of patients with hepatic trauma and postoperative continuous bleeding or early rebleeding.
