Abstract:Objective:To study the management of vascular injury. Methods:Retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 59 cases of vascular injury, including 55 cases of vascular injury in neck and extremity and 4 cases of portal vein and vena cava injury. Among them, 21 cases had femoral artery injury with infection and 4 cases had vascular injury due to intervention therapy. All patients with vascular wound of extremity or neck had undergone hemostasis by compression and antishock treament before hospital admission. All cases of femoral artery injury with infection underwent hemostasis by arterial ligation and incision and drainage of abscess. Vascular anastomosis was performed in 11 cases, vascular grafting in 12 cases, and vascular repair in 14 cases. Results:There were 2 deaths. 5 cases had amputation(including a case of femoral embolism due to intervention trerapy). Postoperative intermittent claudication, decreased skin temperature and other signs of ischemia occurred in 21 cases of femoral artery injury with infection, but none developed limb gangrene. The other cases were discharged in good health. Conclusions:In the treatment of vascular injury, wound hemostasis and antishock treatment should be done first to save the patient′s life and the management of the vascular injury depends on the situation, with the aim to try by all means to save the extremity.Vascular reconstruction is the main method for treatment of vassular injury. Vascular ligation can be done in cases of femoral artery injury with infection.
