Vascular injuries after blunt chest trauma: diagnosis and management
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 09/15/09
O'Connor JV et al. – Blunt thoracic vascular injury remains highly lethal, with most victims dying prior to reaching a hospital. Those arriving in extremis require immediate intervention, which may include treatment of other associated life threatening injuries. More stable injuries can often be medically temporized in order to optimize definitive management. Endovascular techniques are being employed with increasing frequency and can often significantly simplify management in otherwise very complex patient scenarios.
