Summary

Rapid surgical repair of common carotid artery stab wounds, using venous patches, is crucial for survival and preventing neurological deficits. This approach is feasible even in emergencies by surgeons with basic vascular skills.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma surgery
  • Vascular surgery
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Penetrating neck trauma, particularly involving the common carotid artery (CCA) and internal jugular vein (IJV), presents a critical surgical emergency.
  • Hemorrhagic shock is a common and life-threatening complication in such injuries.

Observation:

  • A 25-year-old male presented with a stab wound to the CCA and IJV, experiencing severe hemorrhagic shock.
  • The patient underwent immediate successful arterial reconstruction using a venous patch graft.

Findings:

  • Postoperatively, the patient exhibited mild, declining neurological deficits.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed disturbances in the medial cerebral artery (MCA) perfusion area, correlating with neurological symptoms.

Implications:

  • Literature review supports immediate arterial reconstruction over ligation for CCA injuries.
  • Successful emergency CCA repair can be performed by non-specialist vascular surgeons proficient in basic vascular techniques.
