Traumatic arterial spasm--rarity or nonentity

R Samson, B M Pasternak

    The Journal of Trauma
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Traumatic arterial spasm, though rare, does occur and is supported by vascular literature. Treatment involves arterial resection and grafting, or vasodilation if spasm resolves.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Medicine
    • Arterial Physiology

    Background:

    • The existence of traumatic arterial spasm is debated in medical literature.
    • Previous studies have questioned the occurrence of this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and validity of traumatic arterial spasm.
    • To review existing vascular literature on the subject.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive survey of existing vascular literature was conducted.
    • Analysis of case reports and studies discussing arterial spasm following trauma.

    Main Results:

    • The literature survey provides support for the occurrence of traumatic arterial spasm.
    • Evidence suggests that while infrequent, the condition is present.

    Conclusions:

    • Traumatic arterial spasm is a real, albeit uncommon, vascular event.
    • Recommended treatment includes arterial segment resection with grafting, or vasodilation if spasm is reversible.
