Abstract

Endovascular treatment of vascular injuries has resulted in reduced operating time, blood loss, hospital mortality and sepsis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success and complication rate of the endovascular management of penetrating peripheral vascular injuries during 5 years. In this observational study, the clinical records and imaging features of 22 penetrating trauma injuries of 276 penetrating vascular trauma patients (8%), which were repaired using endovascular stent-grafts or coil embolization, between April 2013 and August 2018, included in the study. The median age of patients was 43 years (Range, 20-78 years). There were 17 stab wounds (77.3%), 2 shotgun war remnants (9.1%) and 2 iatrogenic post-surgical lesions. Eleven stent-grafts (50%) and nine coil embolizations (40.9%) were deployed. Endovascular interventions in the management of peripheral vascular injuries can be efficient in definitive repair, damage control and hemorrhage control in severely ill trauma patients. © The Author(s) 2021.
