Management of Vascular Injuries in Penetrating Trauma

Nicolas A Stafforini et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Management of vascular trauma remains a challenge and traumatic injuries result in significant morbidity and mortality. Vascular trauma can be broadly classified according to mechanism of injury (iatrogenic, blunt, penetrating, and combination injuries). In addition, this can be further classified by anatomical area (neck, thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, and extremities) or contextual circumstances (civilian and military).

Keywords: Management; Penetrating vascular injuries; Trauma.
