Abstract
Objective: To describe a technique for arresting traumatic bleeding un controllable by conventional means. Methods and Results: Major intrath oracic bleeding was stopped in a 17-year-old boy who had been stabbed in his right chest by using a Hemorrhage Occluder Pin (Surgical Instru ments Inc, Placetia, Calif). Conclusions: The use of occluder pins to stop bleeding from intercostal arteries may be life-saving.
