foley's catheter balloon tamponade

Hi!

I know that Foley's catheter balloon tamponade is used in certain patients
to arrest haemorrhage from penetrating neck injuries and have used this
technique successfully on a few occasions.


see World J Surg. 2006 Jul;30(7):1265-8 Navsaria P, Thoma M, Nicol A.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16830215

Assited a colleague with a patient a few nights ago with a infraclavicular
stab wound shooting out arterial blood and tried this technique. Seemed to
have worked

Just wanted to find out any other experiences with the Foley's catheter in
other sites besides the neck?

Kindest regards
Sa'ad
