    Summary

    Surgical repair of carotid artery injuries significantly improves outcomes compared to ligation or no surgery. Early repair shows promise, even in patients with neurological deficits or coma.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Neurological Surgery

    Background:

    • Carotid artery injuries result from penetrating neck trauma.
    • Outcomes for these injuries have historically varied.
    • Longitudinal data on carotid artery trauma is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze outcomes of carotid artery trauma treatment.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of arterial repair versus ligation.
    • To assess prognostic factors in carotid artery injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of English-language papers (1952-1979) on carotid trauma.
    • Abstraction of valid, first-hand cases of carotid arterial trauma.
    • Longitudinal follow-up of hospital survivors with carotid artery injuries.

    Main Results:

    • 722 cases analyzed; mean age 28, overall mortality 21%.
    • Arterial repair yielded improvement in 34% of patients, versus 14% for ligation/no surgery (P=0.01).
    • Shock and coma were ominous predictors (P<0.001), but coma was not a contraindication to repair. No difference found between prompt vs. delayed repair.

    Conclusions:

    • Arterial repair is superior to ligation or non-surgical management for carotid artery injuries.
    • Prompt surgical intervention may be beneficial, irrespective of initial neurological status.
    • Long-term follow-up reveals persistent neurological deficits and potential complications like stenosis and fistulas.
