Operative management and outcome of 302 abdominal vascular injuries

American Journal of Surgery, 2000
Abdominal vascular injuries incur high mortality rates. The purposes of this study are (1) review institutional experience, (2) determine additive effect on mortality of multiple vessel injuries, (3) determine mortality of combined arterial and venous injuries, and (4) correlate mortality with American Association for the Surgery of Trauma-Organ Injury

CT of blunt abdominal and pelvic vascular injury

Emergency Radiology, 2009
Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be increasingly useful in the evaluation of blunt trauma patients with suspected abdominopelvic vascular injuries. CT findings of abdominopelvic vascular insult may be broadly characterized as end-organ abnormalities or direct evidence of vascular injury. End-organ abnormalities implying an underlying vascular

Ureteral injury in abdominal vascular reconstructive surgery

Urology, 1992
Iatrogenic ureteral injuries in vascular reconstructive surgery are rarely reported. We present a case of ureteral transection during repair of an aortic aneurysm in a patient with a previously placed aortobifemoral graft. In reported series of surgical ureteral injuries, 17 of 381 injuries occurred during vascular procedures.

Abdominal Vascular Injuries

2017
Shock out of proportion to the extent of external injury suggests abdominal vascular injury. After the abdomen is entered, immediate control of the supraceliac aorta should be considered before continuing the operation. Retroperitoneal hematomas should not be explored right away unless they are actively bleeding.

Intra-abdominal Vascular Injury Secondary to Penetrating Trauma

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
There were 85 patients in this series. The overall mortality was 17.6%. Gunshot wounds were responsible for 51 injuries, with a 21% mortality. There were three stabbings and three shotgun blasts, with a mortality of 10% and 33%, respectively. There were 127 intra-abdominal vascular injuries. The majority were to the SMA and its branches: 34.

Predicting and Preventing Infection after Abdominal Vascular Injuries

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1989
Of 210 patients with major intra-abdominal vascular injuries, 111 (53%) survived more than 48 hours. Of these, 41 (37%) developed serious infections resulting in death or a hospital stay exceeding 14 days (mean, 55 +/- 49) in the 33 who survived. The most frequent serious infections were intraperitoneal and resulted in a 35% mortality rate (8/23).

Diagnosis and management of thoracic and abdominal vascular injuries

Trauma, 2002
Thoracic and abdominal vascular injuries present a formidable challenge to the most experienced surgeon. As prehospital care improves, more patients with these injuries are reaching the hospital alive. Thus, the trauma surgeon must be prepared to deal with them rapidly and precisely.

Abdominal Vascular Injuries: Techniques

2020
Injuries to major named vessels in the abdomen are present in 20–25% of patients undergoing laparotomy for gunshot wounds. This figure decreases to 10% in patients after stab wounds and to 5–10% in patients after blunt trauma. The management of and survival after operations for abdominal vascular injuries depend on whether the injury is tamponaded or ...

Abdominal vascular injuries: injuries to the aorta.

The Surgical clinics of North America, 2002
This article discusses injuries to the abdominal aorta at its supra- and infrarenal positions, focusing on the surgical approaches to abdominal aorta injuries and renal vascular pedicles. The controversy regarding the use of bioprosthetic materials and the coLlective experience with these injuries as reported in the literature are reviewed.

Management of abdominal vascular injuries.

Seminars in vascular surgery, 1999
Major abdominal vascular injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. They present a formidable challenge to the most experienced surgeon. Most commonly the result of penetrating trauma, hemorrhagic shock is the usual presentation, and diagnostic maneuvers are unnecessary.
